Considered Boot [2005]

The Considered Boot was the first shoe to be launched under Nike's Considered range, their first attempt at real sustainable footwear, spearheaded by @mcsteve. The upper was created from a single hemp shoelace woven between the leather parts of the upper, as well as stitching that secured the upper to the sole, eliminating adhesives and allowing for easier disassembly. Receiving recognition where it was due, the Considered Boot earned Gold Industrial Design Excellence and Best In Show awards from the Industrial Designer Society of America in 2005. This pair remains in great condition, these were really built to last.
