| Produced by an offshot of an [http://adbusters.org AdBusters], the shoe pitches itself as an "anti-brand." Of course, an anti-brand is still a brand. The shoe is reasonably well constructed but expensive (~US $75). It is union made and comes with a share in the "anti-corporation" which, to date, has only been useful in voting on new product decisions. Annoyingly, there is also a red dot on one toe "for kicking corporate ass." Available from [http://www.adbusters.org/category/culture_shop/ethical_alternatives/blackspot_shoes the AdBusters store]. Now also available in red in addition to black.

| [http://www.nosweatapparel.com/ No Sweat] makes a nice union-produced, "sweatshop free" version that is pretty close to a normal pair of Chucks. They have been produced in a variety of colors. They are currently (2009-06) liquidating their merchandise completely and shoes are going at $10 a pair(!). It's not clear that will produce more shoes in the future and, in fact, seems somewhat unlikely.
