Helping The Environment — With Shoes!

We have a new pair of sneakers on our site that we can’t wait to share with you: the Cochise Jogger. We’re not just excited about how adorable they are – we’re really excited about the story behind them.  These shoes are created by a brand called The People’s Movement (MOVMT), that gathers discarded plastic bags from the beaches of California and Bali, and incorporates them into its designs and packaging!
