Hey kiddies, here are some dope new releases from PRO-Keds, their most recent collection under Royal CVO.  They come in two styles and various colors, all very simple and clean.  The colors range from blue, green to brown, all in light summery shades.  Each comes with the signature sole stripe coming across the forefoot.  Of course they are made of animal friendly materials, this time a soft linen.  My fave is the brown hi-top, which features a chukka-like silhouette, and pinstriped liner.  Click for more pics!

Hey guys, this is in response to Hugues’ question asking whether the New Balance 574 is vegan… well, the bad news is that no, this shoe is not vegan.  The good news is that New Balance does have many shoes that are made with synthetic leather.  The other bad news is that they do not have any guarantees regarding what kinds of glues are used.  So for you hardcore vegans out there, stay away from New Balance.  But, if you want to peep the list, keep reading…

Unfortunately, we can’t wear Vans all the time.  Sometimes we gotta act all growns up   But who says you can’t be vegan, styling, and having fun while dressed up?  Case in point: see this Autumn 2010 collection by Novacas.  Words that come to mind… Sleek.  Modern.  Sophisticated.  From the worn charcoal to the textile mixed in with fake leather, these shoes ooze quality.  Feel me?

Oh, and more good stuff.  Novacas are made out of 80% biodegradable material, 100% vegan, and are fair trade made in Europe.  Also of note is that the designers are the girls who own Moo Shoes.  Holler.
