To celebrate the new Color of the Year, sustainable sneaker brand Cariuma has once again collaborated with Pantone.

The new color of the year is Pantone 12-1023, more commonly referred to as “Peach Fuzz.” The color has been described as “a soft and subtle peach hue that inspires recalibration and an opportunity for nurturing, conjuring up an air of calm and offering us a space to feel, heal and flourish from.” It was further described as “an all-embracing tone designed to inspire a year of compassion, empathy and communion with those we love and the world around us.”

Cariuma’s new collection in collaboration with Pantone features four pairs total, all executed in the hue.

Other materials used include ethically sourced natural rubber, heavy-duty organic cotton canvas and recycled post-consumer plastic. The Pantone x Cariuma Naioca will retail for $89.
