In light of the recent fires that have devastated part of the Amazon forest, two companies are teaming up to help.
Cult-favorite sneaker company Allbirds has teamed up with JUST, a sustainably sourced and packaged water company, to create a line of shoes that benefit the Amazon forest. But these companies aren't just making a small donation to the cause: 100 percent of proceeds from the Allbirds x JUST collaboration will support Earth Alliance, Allbirds investor Leonardo DiCaprio's Amazon forest fund.
The white and blue shoes became available for purchase on Tuesday, Sept. 3rd, but are only available for a limited time. There are two fun styles to choose from: the JUST runners and the JUST toppers. Both styles, retailing for $95 and $115, respectively, are available in both men's and women's sizes.
Not to mention, these shoes are particularly sweet seeing as Allbirds uses Brazilian sugarcane to make their SweetFoam, which is a sustainable material used in Allbirds soles. Shop both special styles above.

Charred trees stand as a forest fire sweeps through the Vila Nova Samuel region, along the road to the Jacunda National Forest near the city of Porto Velho, Rondonia state, part of Brazil's Amazon, Sunday, Aug. 25, 2019.
