I’m trying to find decent sneakers that would last at least 3 years, preferably more, but that are not genocidal brands. It would be awesome if they didn’t support slave labor and animal cruelty as well.

Internet doesn’t provide help. https://huffsports.com/which-sports-brands-support-palestine/ Adidas? Nike? Puma?! Aren’t those brands which actually support State of occupated Palestine called Israel?

Edit: Checked out some ethical sustainable brands in EU. Expensive, so I’ll see if I want to spend that amount of money on sneakers, but, having Miret/Earthbound ones I bought on a really good discount, seems that’s a good long-term sustainable eco ethical investment.

    your link is giving me strong AI hallucination vibes.

    Puma is under targeted BDS boycott so do not buy them.

    Seems like Adidas caved and might be ok at least as far as major sneaker brands go (obviously they are all unethical in many other ways).

      Or some weir parallel universe shit, I know.

      Fuck Adidas.

      Eventually, they’ll all be “pro-Palestine” and still use cheap slavery labor.

      Adidas took Bella Hadid off their advertisements for the olympics because isntrealis got mad a Palestinian woman was the face of them.
