The initiative starts from the Thomson Reuters Foundation, which made the famous designer Dominic Chambrone, from Los Angeles, create a beautiful pair of ‘talking’ sneakers, able to denounce the numbers of slavery still present in the world and often linked to the production of fashion. Through details written on seams, tongues, insoles, soles, laces… the horror figures are showed: 40 million people held in slavery, 150 $ billions produced each year illegaly against the monthly cost of 90$ of a slave.
