A little dirt don’t hurt! KAMP collaborated with Unless Collective to launch their first regenerative sneaker, The Degenerate, made from 100% plants and minerals and zero plastic. Resident sneakerhead, Dee, introduces the shoe with the help of his friends. Their chats focus on the importance of sustainability and what we can all do to make our Earth a little happier.

PHOTOGRAPHY


To soft launch the two sneaker colorways before introducing Dee and his friends, we told The Degenerate's story through photography, visualizing "regeneration" by literally showing each step of the cycle — from dirt, to plants, to shoes, and back to dirt again.
