Meet Thousand Fell — a sneaker brand redefining what it means to walk lightly on the planet, and the Seeing Green Solutionist of the Day for October 17.
In this Spotlight episode, we turn to footwear — an industry known for its massive footprint yet bursting with opportunity for change. Thousand Fell, based in New York, was founded on a radical but simple idea: design sneakers that never need to end up in landfill.
Their shoes blend timeless design and modern performance with circular thinking. Each pair features bio-leather made from food waste, recycled plastic linings, and natural rubber soles — built to last, easy to clean, and ready to be recycled through the brand’s Trade In program. Powered by the SuperCircle platform, those worn-out sneakers get disassembled and reborn into something new.
From thoughtful materials to transparent storytelling, Thousand Fell shows how sustainability and style can move in step. It’s a reminder that what we wear on our feet can also point us toward a more circular future — one step at a time.
