Coffee shoes generally come in one of two modes. There’s the coffee-themed shoe that imports coffee colorways and fun caffeinated accents. The Nike Coffee Pack—brown and cream colorways of their Daybreak, Air Max 97, and Air Force 1 Low silhouettes—may be the best example to date (though the real answer for the in-the-know coffee pro might just be the jute- and GrainPro-inspired Adidas ZX designed by Deadstock Coffee’s Ian Williams). Then there are the shoes actually made of coffee, like the Rens Nomad.
But this dichotomy compels the question: why can’t it be both? Luckily, there is XpreSole. The longtime coffee ground-based shoemaker is back with a few new silhouettes, and one of them features a coffee cherry-patterned design. And it’s available on Kickstarter now.
We’ve been following XpreSole for a few years now, from their first drop in 2021 with the Panto boot to… whatever this is… to now, where the brand is pivoting to a more casual design. The low-top streetwear sneakers have a classic Vans-esque look, the Connie and the Cody resembling the Authentic and the Slip On, respectively.
But the real standout among the 16 new options (including a few new colorways for the Panto boot) is the Connie sneaker in White Flowers. The sneakers features of mix of white and yellow-coffee-cherry patterned uppers. Like you, they are coffee inside and out.
As with all XpresSole shoes, the latest offerings are vegan and made of recycled coffee grounds, making them lightweight, breathable, water-resistant, stain-free, and odor-free.
With still over a week left in the campaign, the XpreSole Kickstarter has raised over $24,000, well over their $3,000 goal. But there are still rewards and deep discounts to be had. Would-be backers can get their hands on a pair of the Connie sneakers in White Flowers as low as $79, 30% off the MSRP. There are of course discounts on entire new line of Connie, Cody, and Panto boots, should you want those, but why when the coffee flower shoes are right there?
