Discover the second life of sneaker uppers with 2ndNature’s innovative approach to upcycling.

Have you ever wondered what happens to the uppers of the sneakers after their soles become donors for vintage Jordan 1s? 2ndNature is a post-sole swap movement that draws inspiration from the Japanese philosophy of Mottanai, which emphasizes the important of minimizing waste.

With a mission to reduce waste and promote sustainability, 2ndNature creatively upcycles sneaker uppers into functional and stylish plant pots.

These ‘sneaker pots’ are not only practical and visually appealing, but they also offer a unique and sustainable home decor option for plant enthusiasts everywhere. Join the movement and give your old sneakers a new purpose with 2ndNature.
