CONVERSE VS NOTHING NEW, the Most Eco-Friendly Sneaker on Earth

The most eco-friendly sneaker on Earth might not sound that durable, but it's made with more durable stitching and thicker, tougher canvas... except the canvas is made from recycled plastic bottles. When I first saw the brand new company Nothing New, I instantly wondered how they'd stack up against the most popular sneaker of all time, so I took a hard look at the two. Which is your favorite?

Thank! I've been waiting for a more in-depth review of the Nothing New shoes!

I've worn my Chucks for over 20 years, can't wait to try Nothing New thanks to you!

This is really cool! Curious about breathe-ability, how do they compare vs the canvas shoes? I have found that natural materials tend to breathe better.

Been waiting on this one nick! Thanks!!

In Indonesia there's a company that also makes shoes out of recycled plastic bottles but they cost like three times cheaper than Nothing New. But construction-wise, I think Nothing New is more durable because it has stitches. Nice review Nick!

I have always liked the chucks silhouette but, the only time that I have worn them my feet were in so much pain. More than likely will be picking up a pair of Nothing New, the monochromatic look and plain outsole make it look more aesthetically pleasing. Have you ever tried Shoes Like Pottery? I’ve been looking for reviews but haven’t been able to find any.

Love this video. Never new about the Nothing New shoes. I have wanted to get a pair of the converse 2s but they seem to be discontinued. The Nothing New's look very similar to the Converse 2s so these seem like a good alternative. Plus I love supporting recycling and waste decreasing.

Great great great video.

I've been looking at the monochrome nothing new, grey or green. But I love my chucks for lifting!

[justinarnold]

This video came at the perfect time. I’ve been thinking about getting a pair of Nothing New shoes but wasn’t sure.

Thank you for this review. I have been eyeing these for a while, but wasn't sure if they were worth it. Now I know! Time to place an order!

[robertpeterson]

Answered every question I had. Thanks.

Love my chucks and allstar low, so anything similar is a winner👌

You really should try the all white leather OX low converse, really great👍

[msnotwguitar]

Man, this is a super in depth comparison. Really well done. Thanks!

[daddykarlmarx]

You should have compared them to the chuck 70s instead or in conjunction with the regular chucks

[trevor]

I wonder how these compare to the Chuck 70s.

"The world is changed by a lot of small decisions." Well said! I will be picking up a pair of these, thanks! 😄

[rullmourn]

I prefer PF Flyers myself. They last longer and have more room in the toe than either one of those shoes.

[santossuarez]

This was an awesome review down to the ground. Thanks you for putting the effort to do this video

What converse is that on the table, the sole looks significantly smaller than what we see in stores now.
