two pairs of shoes with plants growing out of them and the words how to recycle unwearable shoes

We all have a couple of old pairs of shoes that we can no longer wear. Usually, we dump them in a trash can, and they eventually end up in a landfill somewhere. Discarded shoes take as long as 40 years to completely breakdown, and this takes a toll on our already degraded environment. Below, I have compiled several ways on how to recycle unwearable shoes and reduce our carbon footprint. It is a simple step but with a significant impact on conserving our environment.

four pairs of blue jean shoes with laces on the bottom and one worn out

Levi's is set to release their own series of denim sneakers. What's unique about these shoes are that not two pairs are the same. This is because Levi's has gathered and collected jeans that have been worn, taken the material and reconstructed into something unique. Each shoe is handmade so each sneaker will have a different contruction. They will be available soon in China for $499 RMB and will be limited to 300 pairs. Source: Chinasize
