Nike / Vans

The four brands listed here replace Nike and Vans in different ways, so start with what you wear. Ecoalf says its aim is to create fashion with the least possible impact. Nudie Jeans says it started in Gothenburg in 2001 and designs jeans to be repaired rather than replaced. Vegetarian Shoes says it was established in 1990 and makes vegan footwear made in the UK and Europe. Veja says it has made sneakers differently since 2005, combining social projects, economic fairness and ecological materials.

When you compare them, look at the materials used, where the item is made, whether repairs are offered, and the size guide and return terms of each shop. Prices and delivery rules differ by country, so check them at checkout before you decide.
