Our notes
We've not changed our NY Sneakers much since they first launched in 2015. Like most models in our permanent collection, we've just made small tweaks and adjustments along the way to make them the best vegan sneakers we know how.
The newest update is to the uppers. In the latest batch they're made with our new matt-finish Italian bio-based vegan leather (62–66% plant-origin materials) — we love this finish, we think it gives a more luxe look and feel, and we're now using it across all new batches of our white sneakers and trainers.
The other change is underfoot: the tan rubber outsoles now carry recycled content, made with 10% recycled rubber — you'll spot it in the flecks of material within them. Apart from that, nothing's changed. Same sidewall stitching on the outsoles, same stitching details through the uppers, same comfy fit, same attention to detail you'd expect from WVS — from the metal lace tips in 100% zamak (a durable zinc alloy) to the extra-strong laces in 100% recycled polyester.
Inside, grey woven Tencel™ linings are soft against the foot, breathable and moisture-wicking to help keep your feet cool, sockless or not. Underfoot, cushioned layered insoles pair soft memory foam over a recycled PU base (20% recycled PU).
After all, what's there to change when you've got a classic silhouette?
