The international sneaker game seems to be getting vaster and more interesting every single year but Los Angeles-based brand ‘Rose In Good Faith’ has launched a line of sneakers which not only captures your attention, but saves the world doing it.

The chunky foam-based shoe is equally stylish as it is sustainable, made from a complex recycling system where the unused sex toys were ground into millimeter-sized cubes, mixed with bleach then molded into the classy silhouette seen on the brand’s social media pages.

Costing a retail price of around $130, Rose in Good Faith boss David Teitelbaum highlighted how the shoe tells a story and inspires a new perspective on up-cycling while Doc Johnson COO argued that the pair promotes sexy positivity through fashion and innovation.
