Life is your canvas. BLANX. Show what matters.
Showing what matters is a vision that goes well beyond our products. The influence of this mantra extends throughout our supply chain: from how we engage with our creators to how we select our production partners and the causes we support.
We tell stories on sneakers, but not just any stories. We speak about what needs to be said. We are loud about what we think is important such as racial diversity, gender equality, mental health and climate change.
The creators we work with have artistic talent, genuine commitment, and a unique point-of-view.
We manufacture in Mexico in a family-owned factory that supports the local economy and follows the highest ethical standards.
Showing what matters is the first step towards designing a better world.
WHAT WE STAND FOR
Racial Diversity
Our world is diverse and that is the way it should stay. Diversity is synonymous with richness, because when different cultures and races come together, magic happens.
Did you know that inclusive companies are 120% more likely to hit financial goals? Also, 86% of women and 74% of men seek employers with diversity and inclusion strategies in place.
Understanding those who are different from us is the first step to discovery and improvement.
Gender Equality
The future is female… and male, and non-binary.
In the workplace, men are 30% more likely to be promoted to a managerial role, and only 4% of Fortune 500 CEOs are women. Women rights are long overdue, but we are stepping closer to change.
Respecting and creating an environment for gender equality generates positive change, such as preventing violence against women, reducing the pay gap and guaranteeing equal access to education.
Recognizing gender equality has a direct impact on everyone's quality of life.
Mental Health
Two astonishing facts: 47.6 million adults in the U.S., representing 18% of the country’s adult population, experience a mental illness. Unfortunately, 56% of people with mental illness have not received any kind of treatment.
Although mental health is truly important at every stage of life, it is frequently underestimated and stigmatized. Having peace of mind can help prevent other serious conditions such as heart attacks and strokes.
Our emotional, psychological and social well-being determine how we think, feel, and act. The first step to a healthy life is a healthy mind.
Climate Change
The climate crisis is real and it is already here. The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere reached record levels in 2020. There are more than 16,000 endangered species threatened with extinction. A staggering 5.25 trillion tons of plastic is in our oceans.
Overwhelming evidence shows an increase in the frequency and severity of certain phenomena like hurricanes, heat waves and other dangers. It is a fact that climate change is a threat.
Trust the science. Our house is on fire, and it is our only house.
We all deserve to breathe clean air, we need clean water, rainforests, and a safe environment to be healthy and to develop a better place for us and the future generations.
Earth is our home. There is no Planet B.
