Thanks to consumer demand, brands are increasingly looking for more sustainable ways to manufacture goods and Reebok&#8217;s latest move <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">in eco-friendly fashion is proof of just that. Reebok Cotton + Corn, Rebook&#8217;s first plant-based sneaker, offers eco-conscious consumers a <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">stylish and planet-friendly solution to fashion.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">This innovative plant-based shoe is a big step in environmentally friendly fashion and is currently being sold in limited numbers in unisex sizes. What&#8217;s more, in an effort to keep the plant-based sneakers as environmentally friendly as possible, the Reebok Cotton + Corn kicks are only a<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">vailable in one natural\/chalk colourway.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-22809 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.pricecheck.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Reebok-Corn-and-contton-768x459-300x179.jpg\" alt=\"Reebok Cotton + Corn\" width=\"535\" height=\"319\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Reebok-Corn-and-contton-768x459-300x179.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Reebok-Corn-and-contton-768x459.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Reebok-Corn-and-contton-768x459-336x200.jpg 336w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 535px) 100vw, 535px\" \/><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">With a whopping 75 percent of the Cotton + Corn sneaker being made from USDA-certified biological material, this new addition to the Reebok range is indeed impressive. The upper is made entirely of the shoe\u2019s namesake cotton, the sole from a corn-derived biobased TPU (DuPont\u2019s Susterra Propanediol), and the insole from castor bean oil. The shoe\u2019s natural colour is due to the fact that Reebok has avoided using dyes to maintain the shoe\u2019s eco-friendly credentials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">But the great news doesn&#8217;t stop there\u00a0\u2014 because the shoes are<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"> plant-based it also means they are compostable after use. Meaning long after they&#8217;re done being fashionable, the materials used to create this unique sneaker can return to the earth from whence they came!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Itching for new sneakers?
