Blackspot sneakers

Their first products are shoes that use vegan standards and as such are made of out organic hemp. Blackspot Sneakers are manufactured by Portuguese union workers and feature a number of "anti-logos" on the side, toe and box that are hand-drawn, copyright-free black, white and red spots and dots. Buyers receive one share of the corporation and the ability to vote on future ventures that the anti-corporation considers. The second sneaker, the Unswoosher, is also made of hemp but also contains a sole made of recycled car tires.
