Flamingos Life

Based in Elche, Spain, Flamingos Life approaches footwear through alternative materials and a desire to reduce reliance on conventional animal-based and petroleum-heavy components. Its trainers combine familiar retro-running shapes with plant-based, recycled and lower-impact materials.

What makes the brand interesting to us is that the environmental thinking sits behind recognisable, wearable footwear rather than becoming the entire aesthetic.
