There have been no shortage of coffee-shoe<\/a> collaborations<\/a> over the past few years. I know this because I\u2019ve struck out copping a free pair through not-so-subtle pandering on no less than three occasions. But it\u2019s fine, whatever, I\u2019ve found a new tack: not-so-subtly pandering for a free pair of shoes that ARE coffee<\/a>.<\/p>\n According to VegNews<\/a>, a German engineer by the name of Sebastian Thies recently debuted a brand new line of sneakers featuring an \u201cupper made of up to 50 percent coffee grounds sustainably sourced from various regions.\u201d It\u2019s the lastest release from Thies\u2019 nat-2<\/a>, \u201ca luxury state of the art footwear brand based in Munich, Germany,\u201d per the company\u2019s website.<\/p>\n For the Coffee Line, Thies\u2014a sixth generation shoemaker “from one of the oldest shoe-dynasties in Europe\u201d\u2014is using on eco-friendly, 100% vegan components; along with the reused coffee, the shoe incorporates recycled PET bottles, cork insoles, glue \u201cfree from animal products,\u201d real rubber, and \u201csignature reflective glass details.\u201d The unisex Coffee Line comes in both low- and high-top versions, both with just a faint smell of coffee. Finally, shoes you don\u2019t have to worry about spilling coffee on (I think it only makes them stronger)!<\/p>\n It\u2019s a good thing, too, because a pair of nat-2\u2019s Coffee Line sneakers runs a cool \u20ac390.00<\/a> ($441 USD). The shoe\u2019s first run has already sold out, so I couldn\u2019t buy a pair even if I had the money to. Which I don\u2019t. I guess I\u2019ll just have to wait for the second release to get that free pair of shoes I\u2019ve decided I deserve, right Sebastian.
