The footwear industry is one of the biggest contributors in the global carbon emissions. Although the biggest companies have taken steps in the right direction, like Nike’s Move to Zero, the industry holistically must make that shift together. Thus, the ASICS GEL-LYTE III CM 1.95.

Its creation champions sustainability through a more contemporary lens, creating a design that is very different from Shigeyuki Mitsui’s initial concept.

It boasts solution-dyed polyester and recycled materials. And the shoe can be made with fewer resources thanks to a new innovative taping structure. Additionally, the padding features a carbon-negative foam, which is as gentle on the wearer as it is on the environment.

If the ethos resonates, head over to ASICS.com where the pair is available now with an RRP of US$150.
