Entrepreneur Jaden Smith just released his very own pair of vegan leather sneakers. The musician teamed up with footwear manufacturing company New Balance. The duo launched their first collaboration: the NB for Jaden Smith Vision Racer.<\/p>\n
According to New Balance, the vegan sneaker merges classic New Balance design with Jadens unique, bold, fashion-forward aesthetic for a new silhouette that pushes the boundaries for sustainably-led footwear. It features a clunky, thick bottom.<\/p>\n
The Vision Racer also features design elements from Smiths favorite New Balance shoes: the X-Racer and classic 1700. The Vision Racers are made with vegan, partially recycled materials like polyester.<\/p>\n
Shared values of transforming the status quo; staying true to oneself; giving back to community; and, respecting heritage while co-authoring a distinct future, are the foundation of the relationship between New Balance and Jaden Smith, Chris Davis, New Balance Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President of Merchandising, said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The shoes will launch globally on the companys website and in select retail locations with the wavy baby blue colorway on July 24. They will retail for a suggested price of $150. Additional colorways will be added throughout the year.<\/p>\n
Smith, who is also New Balances brand ambassador, signed a deal with New Balance in 2017. But his new vegan leather shoe isnt the first time the actor has delved into veganism.<\/p>\n
Smith launched a vegan food truck to help feed Los Angeles homeless population in June 2019. He set up the pop-up truck, dubbed I Love You Restaurant, on Skid Row, a neighborhood in Downtown Los Angeles that has a large homeless population.<\/p>\n
Smith and his team gave out free vegan bowls featuring dark leafy greens, sweet potato, black beans, and grains. On Instagram, Smith wrote that the pop-up food truck is a movement that is all about giving people what they deserve: healthy, vegan food for free.<\/p>\n
In September, the actor, along with rapper A$AP Rocky, set up the food truck at the Drew Hamilton Houses in Harlem, New York. The duo handed out more than 500 vegan meals to the local community.<\/p>\n
Im so honored to have the I Love You truck all the way across the country in Harlem with the help of my brother A$AP Rocky and the whole AWGE TEAM. We love you Harlem,Smith said in a statement.<\/p>\n
