Made from organic hemp in a safe, comfortable union factory with all-vegetarian materials, these sexy sneakers are perfect for if you love Converse, but hate sweatshop labor.
The classic BlackSpot sneaker resembles the Converse All Star low-top, with clean lines and the hand-drawn blackspot anti-logo in the place of the facist Nike-owned All-Star symbol.
The Unswoosher features a more rugged, post-industrial look, with thick shoes made from recycled tires, perfect for stomping all over human oppression where-ever you go.
Each pair of BlackSpot sneakers comes with one share of the corporation and the ability to vote on future ventures that the anti-corporation considers. You can get ‘em at Blackspotsneaker.org , or for a cheaper alternative that comes in more colors (but is equally sweatshop-free) try No Sweat Apparel’s No Sweat Footwear , available in high top and low.

THe idea’s pretty bitching, but I’ve had to glue back together my unswooshers about 4 times. I think this may send the wrong message about Free Trade, union labor and recycled materials.
Ouch. That’s a bummer. I’ve never had any issues with mine (that sounds funny talking about shoes). Admittedly, the Unswoosher is not quite a combat boot, but I’ve put a lot of miles on mine without more than the expected amount of wear.
