The custom/special Air Trainer 3 boots that Nike designer Tinker Hatfield created for 1989's 'Batman' movie — directed by Tim Burton and starring Michael Keaton — are up for auction!

Hatfield actually worked directly with Keaton on creating the boots, heading to the actor's house in Los Angeles to storyboard exactly what they should look like. In total, roughly eight pairs were produced for Keaton and his stunt doubles, making the pair that's being auctioned off extremely rare.
Like many deadstock vintage Nike sneakers, these Batman boots are in a state of decay, with cracked leather and crumbling midsoles — due to natural aging and oxidization. Of course, they're not wearable but are a more than worthy collection centerpiece for any movie memorabilia maven.
Movie auction house Propstore is handling this auction and the pre-sale high estimate price is about $30K.

Later on, Hatfield would also follow these Air Trainer 3s up with a special pair of Air Jordan 6s for 1992's 'Batman Returns'.

Launched back in 1989, PUMA Trinomic improved the sneakers world.
Based on simple geometry, the technology provided exceptional motion control - thanks to the embedding of a hexagonal mesh on the midsole. The engineering knowhow came from the humble honey bee.

Three decades later, multiple silhouettes feature the TRINOMIC technology adding considerably to the comfort / cushioning.

The media is full today with tons of greenwashing

The media is full today with tons of greenwashing posts / ads. All of it is revolving around the same basic idea: to make shopping seem less harmful than it really is.
The fashion industry loves to pretend that shopping is the answer to the terrible impact on our mother planet — when the truth is — shopping itself is the problem.
The industry's biggest impact comes from making the clothes we buy, which is why it's so important to buy less and smarter, while wearing the things we already own.

If brands want to talk about sustainability without greenwashing, they need to explain how they plan on reducing the impact of their supply chains, not mislead consumers with so-called "green" collections and opaque claims about becoming circular / regenerative / carbon neutral in ten years time.

The macro picture needs to shift truly and deeply. How about slowing down our pace, so questions can arise before making any decisions?
Earth is abundance and she keeps on giving to us. But what are we giving back to our planet?

Our hearts are simply bleeding by looking at the current situation in Ukraine. It seems like unity and togetherness have never been more important. We're not afraid to raise our voice against it and inspire others to do the same.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sadly, war knows no winners. This is not just an attack on Ukraine. It's an attack on democracy, on human rights, and on freedom. And if there was ever a moment that empathy, love and understanding mattered, it's now.
This is one of the reasons why we need to stand united in saying no to violence. This is a moment for unity. It's a matter of life and death. It's about the future of our global community, our world.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We will make sure to stand by the Ukrainian people. And we will support them in every way we can.
Let's stand together for Ukraine and for our world.
