Leather, plastic, and rubber are the most common materials used in traditional sneakers. Sneaker production is incredibly energy-intensive, resulting in a huge quantity of greenhouse gas emissions. They degrade slowly, and when they do, pollutants, chemicals, and fossil fuels are released into the environment.
