Product Dose has found what appears to be the first ever footwear brand to create ‘fair trade sneakers’, called Veja (French Site). The sneakers are made with wild Amazon rubber, and organic cotton. All the shoes are manufactured in Brazil in cooperation with living wage regulations. Their first fall/winter line ever consists of a pretty simple shoe design with different colorway choices– all quite nice. The boys at Product Dose also point us over to Scout in LA, the exclusive US distributor of Veja.

Few Many has a show in Tokyo called “TOY2R EXPO” (Toys Save Children). Half the profits will be donated directly to the UNICEF. This is really the most interesting collection of ‘designer’ toys I’ve ever seen– with literally dozens to choose from. All the toys are originals and are for sale online through PayPal. If you’re a hardcore toy collector, you should be all over this– there are some really great designs. The show starts Monday October 10th and runs through Sunday the 16th. Thanks OGI!
