VMAN News: Giuseppe Zanotti’s Eco-Trainer
Step into spring sustainably
Who doesn’t want a sustainable makeover these days? With climate change wreaking havoc globally and temperatures constantly shifting, humanity, as a whole, needs to make a drastic change sooner than later. That’s why Italian luxury powerhouse Giuseppe Zanotti is taking matters into its own hands with its newest release. A nod to the house’s beloved “Blabber” silhouette that debuted in 2019, the newly released “Ecoblabber” sneaker has received a sustainable update with a bevy of intriguing design features and touchpoints to boast.
Maintaining the signature shape of the original Blabber silhouette, the newest iteration is available in low-top and high-top versions and focuses on eco-conscious materials and non-toxic production methods. Crafted from recycled plastic bottles and recycled leather, Giuseppe Zanotti is making sure to eliminate waste, CO2 emissions, and excess materials throughout the entirety of the sneaker’s design process. Even down to the Ecoblabber’s assembly, sustainability is at the top of mind. Water-based glues—free of harmful chemicals—are used to construct the shoe, while organic cotton laces add a thoughtful touch to the clean design.
The sneaker also features a newly developed logo that reimagines the brand’s signature emblem through the lens of the universal recycling symbol. Not only environmentally friendly, the Ecoblabber is available in the brand’s signature black and white colorway and also in silver and gold options. Both sustainable and stylish, Giuseppe Zanotti’s Ecoblabber sneaker is sure to be a must-have silhouette for the SS22 season.
