Sometimes you just have to trust your instincts, and dive in. This is one of those times. I have a serious love affair with converse-type sneaks, and these low and high tops are killing me — mostly because their website is very French, and mon cherie, I am not…All I can glean is that they say their jeans, tees and sneaks are produced “ethically” and with serious consideration to the environment. More research needs to be done, but in the interim, feel free to jump in with much-needed translation. tres bien.

GOOD NEWS from Maxime Guillon of NU…fairdealtrading.com can provide manufacturing info and is a U.S. distributor of the Ethletic brand. The latex soles are sourced from Fair Trade, FSC-certified, sustainable plantations, and the uppers are from 100% cotton canvas.
merci, Maxime! (1.14.07)
