Haute Talk with The Footwear Collective

On this week’s episode of The Lexy Show: Fashion That Gives a D*mn, we’re diving into the world of footwear—specifically how one pivotal project is rewriting the rules of what happens when shoes reach their end of life. Our guest is from The Footwear Collective, the coalition of leading brands and innovators driving the “Footwear Futures Project” in partnership with Goodwill Southern California, which set the ambitious goal of collecting 30,000 pounds of used shoes to test new circular solutions.

We’ll explore why shoes are one of fashion’s most complex waste streams, how the project blends research, innovation and consumer behavior, and what it takes to transform worn-out footwear into something new. The conversation covers the unexpected partnerships—brands that usually compete coming together—the blueprint for a circular footwear system, and what each of us can do when it comes to our own closets.
