Using recycled materials for sneakers is the way of the world, and Converse is doing it with their Renew lineup. The brand’s latest low top in the locker is the Chuck 70 Knit that uses 25% recycled materials based on total weight. The colorful outsole and midsole are made with 12% recycled rubber footwear scraps, laces are 100% recycled material, the sockliner is made with 75% recycled OrthoLite, and the stretchy knit upper uses 85% recycled polyester thread. And since they’re breathable, the Renew Chucks are perfect for casual summer duty, which is just around the corner.

Huckberry’s Essential Holiday Gift Guide
Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
