Doc Johnson has been picking up extensive media coverage for its Plastic Sole collaboration with celebrity favourite shoe label Rose In Good Faith. The new Plastic Sole shoe is made from unused and discarded Doc Johnson dildos which have been recycled with a system that grinds down the material into millimetre-sized cubes of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer). These cubes are then mixed with non-bleach EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate) foam and injection moulded into the shape of the Plastic Sole.
The shoe was released on Rose In Good Faith’s website last week and was featured at H Lorenzo’s flagship location and stocked across all The Webster doors. Retail price is $130.
If Rose In Good Faith is a new name to you, it is said to pull together elements of sub-culture to form its underground aesthetic. “Bridging the realms of luxury fashion and streetwear, the Los Angeles brand’s avant-garde garments boast artisanal quality and premium custom-made fabrics,” according to the Plastic Sole announcement.
