We have bee big iDiom fans from the start. The simplicity and quality of the brand is just convincing, even if the prices sometimes hurt. Earlier this year we reported that the new collection coming later this year has been inspired by the environment in terms of design. Also for the first time it has been designed by Hiroshi Fujiwara’s Fragment Design and Staple Design from NYC.
The outcome is a collection that has a lot of green, black and white in it. Here you get a first look at the snowboard of the new collection, some pants and also a glimpse at the jacket, but nothing too concrete so far. Pics via Snowbroader.
Check out all the pics after the jump.

Adidas presents an all eco collection – the Grün Collection. Grün is German and stands for green.
“With three guiding elements of “Made From”, “Recycled” and “Reground”, adidas Grün offers a range of products, including classic silhouettes like the Forum basketball sneaker and the ZX 500 runner, all made from recycled and natural materials.” Via Sneaker Freaker.
Nike showed it with the Considered line and was successful with it, thus the Adidas Grün Collection should also be interesting for that same customer. We enjoy little details such as the wooden button on the Forum.
Check out the entire range after the jump.

Fan Trainers is a new UK sneaker brand, created by Lusea Warner, as part of his last  Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design collection.
“It’s a Brand that reuses plastic bags and majestically turns them into sneakers, bags and lights.  FAN is an umbrella of eco design,  that brings green to the fore-front of urban culture.  ”
Sneaker Freaker has an interview up with Lusea, discussing the brand and the eco message behind it. We have seen some more eco friendly styles in the sneaker world, but nothing that really goes this direction.
