Worlds First Biodegradable Running Shoe Sole

The worlds first sustainable performance running shoe! When it comes to sustainability, it's time for running gear to lead the way, not follow.


This running shoe was made by BioMoGo and utilizes recycled and other earth-friendly components. Constructed with roughly half as many parts as comparable shoes, the Green Silence requires less petroleum and energy to make. Of course, the shoe manages all of this while delivering the premium performance expected from Brooks.
