They look like any other trendy, retro trainer -- the difference is that they're made to fair trade standards and from planet-friendly materials
Typical price £60

Review

I bought a pair of these a year ago and I love them! The organic rubber sole may be eco friendly but is really thin and has totally worn through. The sole apparently can't be replaced, making my lovely trainers useless - not what I would expect for 60 quid and surely not very good for the environment.
