Get Your 80s Nostalgia Fix with Fenics Vegan Sneakers 

In France, footwear brand Fenics has launched a line of 80s-inspired sneakers using vegan materials, including apple leather, cotton, natural rubber, and recycled polyurethane. 

Requiring half the carbon and water as conventional sneakers, the line is produced in Spain. Once the nostalgia has worn off, Fenics will partially recycle the shoes and give you a €20 credit. 

Fenics is only selling the shoes in France, Belgium, Monaco, and Andorra to reduce emissions from shipping and keep the shoes environmentally friendly. 

According to data quoted by vegconomist, the market for vegan footwear is currently just over $40 billion and will almost double by 2030.
