Chinese worker sneakers as fashion footwear
Sneaker company Ospop is now making fashion versions of the traditional Tian-Lang worker-sneaker. Their version comes in many colors and is made without sweatshop labor.
Looks like a weird, sturdy little plimsol sneaker -- but something tells me the version that Chinese workers are sporting doesn't retail at $76 a pop.
Apparently some of that money's going to an educational program in the area of the factory that makes them, though -- so if you're socially conscious, serious about your sneakers and like having a pair no one else does, this could be a good fit.
