Nike & The Happy Pineapple trainer

Nike has launched a new sustainable Happy Pineapple trainer collection in collaboration with pineapple leather brand Piñatex

If you’re going to buy pair of trainers why not buy a pair of vegan trainers? It’s a win-win!

Nike has launched a new sustainable Happy Pineapple trainer collection in collaboration with the vegan pineapple leather brand Piñatex.

The Happy Pineapple shoe range features five colourful sneakers with classic Nike designs including Air Max 90, the Air Max 95, and the Air-Zoom Type.

The “leather components” on the trainers feature the latest plant-based leather alternative from Pinatex made by London-based brand Ananas Anam. Ananas Anam prevented 825 tons of leaves from being burnt by using the waste of pineapple harvesting and therefore saved 264 CO2 eq tons being released into the environment.

Nike claims to be the most sustainable plant-based leather alternative on the market today, but there are some other great sustainable and vegan brands out there like Humans Are Vain!
