Reebok and National Geographic Launched Vegan Shoe Collection Inspired by Endangered Animals

Reebok has teamed up with National Geographic to launch a new shoe collection inspired by the world’s endangered species. The collection is also influenced by National Geographic’s award-winning visual storytelling, and the shoes are made without any animal products.

The collection features three unique designs, including the Nano X2 Grow Formidable Species, Club C 85 Vegan, and Nano X2 Grow Wild Cats.

The Nano X2 Grow Formidable Species are a plant-based version of the popular Reebok Nano X2 training shoes. The patterns showcase animals such as the Grizzly Bear, Puffer Fish, Poison Dart Frog, and Scorpion.

The Nano X2 Grow Wild Cats are inspired by big cats, and the designs depict Tigers, Cheetahs, and Jaguars.

The Club C 85 Vegan is a version of the company’s Club B shoe, and it honors sixteen different endangered species with patterns dedicated to each animal, including the Galapagos Penguin, Black Rhino, Eastern Gorilla, Ring-tailed Lemur, and Fiji Banded Iguana.

Both of the Nano shoes come in unisex sizing and are made from at least 50 percent plant-based materials.

Reebok has been releasing several vegan versions of its popular shoes over the last few years.

If you have the choice, why not choose vegan and cruelty-free? Large fashion brands are making it easier for consumers to choose ethical options. While some may argue that it’s difficult to shop sustainably when buying new clothes, bold and socially-conscious brands like Tiny Rescue are starting to make a mark by creating activism-focused recycled sweatshirts and tees for the gen-z market. Hopefully, at some point, vegan shoes and clothes will become the norm!
