Kick-Start These Kicks

Contributed By: Amy Feezor

If you watch ABC’s business-reality show “Shark Tank,” we know you noticed Gary Gagnon and his REMYXX Sneakers in the season finale. His eco-enthusiasm for creating sustainable footwear was infectious — and we love his mission to initiate improvements in recycling.

Cute and colorful, Gary’s 100% recyclable REMYXX shoes are the world’s first and only completely Landfill-Free Sneakers™. They’re manufactured using a unique mix of materials that look and feel like canvas and rubber, but are made entirely from a special blend of lab-certified recyclable materials. These casual and comfy kicks caught the attention of the “Shark Tank” investors — and now you can invest in them, too. REMYXX is currently raising funds through Kickstarter for additional tooling, material, and inventory. Want to pitch in?
