Denim Sneaker
(2019) In Diploma work IDEL01 20192Industrial Design
- Abstract
- Denim, sneakers and sustainability are three topics I am passionate
about. Right now, the sneaker community is growing bigger than
ever, releasing new products every week of the month. This is not
very sustainable, neither is the denim industry. Growing cotton for
one pair of denim jeans requires around 950 liters of water and a lot
of fertilization. At the same time, we consume 12,5 kg of fabric yearly,
in Sweden only. 7,5 kg of that ends up in the trash and 58% is pure
cotton that could have been up-cycled into new material. This is a
shame since denim is such a durable and sturdy fabric which is easy
to maintain, perfect for shoes. Why not use this on shoes? And why
not up-cycle already existing material?
