Last week, three footwear industry veterans (with collective past experience at Toms, Asics, Nike, Vans and Sanuk) joined together to launch Comunity, a charitably minded brand based and manufactured in Los Angeles.
The brand’s initial offering includes three athleisure-inspired styles—including a hybrid sneaker-moc, metallic hi-top and banded slip-on—for men and women. Retailing for $150 to $180, consumers will allow Comunity to donate $10 from the purchase to a charity of their choice from a curated group of sustainable programs. The styles will be sold direct-to-consumer in-story and online in mid-June.
