Loomstate, makers of the 100% organic cotton jeans we covet, are expanding their efforts to clothe the world in sustainable style with these new shoes. To be unleashed in February, the shoes use the same 100% organic cotton that Loomstate uses to make their apparel. Loomstate engineered the blend themselves; the fibers comes from Turkey, Texas, and Kentucky. Co-founders Rogan Gregory (who recently made our list of the best sustainable designers) and Scott Hahn will make two versions of the shoes: classic slip-on and high-top models, and both are lined in the same polka-dot fabric used in the interior panels of their jeans. We'll keep our eyes peeled for the official launch! ::Loomstate via ::Cool Hunting
