Projext & Co. Launches Scooter One Shoes, the Modern Sneaker Without Compromise on Kickstarter
Scooter One Shoes look good, feel great and combat the negative impacts of fast fashion while redefining what it means to be the classic sneaker of the future.
VANCOUVER, B.C., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Sneakers have been reimagined with the launch of Scooter One Shoes today on Kickstarter. The first product by the team at Projext & Co., Scooter One Shoes offers innovative premium leather sneakers, without harm to animals or the planet associated with other fast fashion brands.
Fast fashion has become a staple in the industry with major retailers and brands capitalizing on evolving trends and ideas as quickly as they shift. It encourages customers to purchase inexpensive clothing more frequently, leading to potentially massive profits. But fast fashion comes at a price to the planet. In 2018, it was estimated that three out of every five of the 100 billion garments produced would end up in a landfill within a year.
Scooter One Shoes reimagines the classic sneaker. It was created to withstand changing trends and become the sneaker of the next generation. It's minimalist, functional, versatile and designed for all-day comfort.
"Scooter One Shoes are meticulously engineered to be lightweight, durable, comfortable and weather-resistant," said Denny Chiang Co-founder and CEO of Projext & Co. "Wear Scooter One Shoes all day, and stride in confidence knowing these leather sneakers look good and do good."
Scooter One Shoes feature innovative technology to give customers the best in style, comfort and sustainability. Each shoe is made of Prime Fiber Leather, a mix of vegan and upcycled leather cast-offs. This leverages the scraps from other manufacturers, helping to reduce waste. A vegan leather coating provides a protective shield against water,stains and scratches, so wearers are good to go, no matter the weather or occasion.
A unique blend of Merino wool and Tencel fabric fibers, called Soufflé Fit Technology™, lines the interior of the shoes to keep feet sweat-free and comfortable - even without socks. The use of Merino wool and Tencel fabric ensures Scooter One Shoes are cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Popcorn Technology™ ensures the sole of each shoe is flexible, shock-absorbent and durable. Each sole is made of 90% natural rubber with 10% recycled rubber.
Scooter One Shoes are available in men's and women's sizes in white, black and grey colorways. Starting at $69, they can be preordered by visiting the Kickstarter campaign at pr.go2.fund/scooterone.
