As the world continues to “go green,” we are seeing more and more shoes and other fashions made from natural materials and with the environment in mind. The New Balance A14 576 “Coffee Beans,” which is scheduled for release in August 2008, is one of those eco-friendly sneakers.

This shoe uses a cork and woven hemp upper to create a very natural and neutral yet quite unique appearance. The signature “N” is painted on. These shoes are very simplistic but the texture of the upper is interesting enough that they might get some attention. Check out the detailed pictures after the jump.

Look for more information about these shoes later in the year. Via streething.
