Their Turn • 1m 21s
UPDATE: VICTORY for protesters and the kangaroos who will no longer be slaughtered! Nike's announcement happened after this protest! Here is Nike's official 2023 statement to the media: “This summer, Nike will launch a new boot innovation in its Tiempo franchise. The Tiempo Legend Elite will debut with a new Nike-only, proprietary synthetic upper. The upper has a new material that is a better performance solution and replaces kangaroo leather. In addition, the Tiempo Premier, also set to launch this summer, will move away from using kangaroo leather. Nike divested of its only kangaroo leather supplier in 2021 and will stop making any product with kangaroo leather in 2023.” Visit TheirTurn.net for updates on related campaigns to stop other shoe companies from using kangaroo leather.
