In a world where change is the only constant, Agency Footwear has taken a step forward in revolutionizing the footwear industry with the launch of their new sustainable plant-based shoe designed especially for athletes and activists. Partnering with The Gathering for Justice, an organization dedicated to transforming the criminal legal system and advancing civil rights, Agency Footwear continues to make meaningful strides towards a future grounded in justice, equality, and compassion.

With a vision to create footwear that not only looks good but also embodies a deeper purpose, Mathew Drazic, the founder and creative director of Agency Footwear, brings to life a collection that resonates with individuals striving to make a difference. "Agency is defined as the power to take action," states Drazic. "I want this to be about all the people who have been fighting for change for generations."


The new sustainable shoe by Agency Footwear exemplifies their dedication to inclusivity and social impact. With interchangeable velcro icons, including a caramel skin-toned empowerment fist representing the pivotal role of people of color in effecting change, the shoe serves as a symbol of the collaborative endeavor needed to confront systemic injustices.


Partnering with The Gathering for Justice


To amplify their mission of creating a more equitable world, Agency Footwear has joined forces with The Gathering for Justice, an organization founded by the iconic artist and activist, Harry Belafonte. This long-term partnership marks the beginning of a collaboration aimed at promoting equality, justice, and positive change in society.


Through the sale of each pair of shoes, a portion of the proceeds will directly support The Gathering for Justice in their efforts to advocate for a beloved community founded on principles of justice, equality, and compassion. By combining the innovation of Agency Footwear with the advocacy of The Gathering for Justice, every step taken in these shoes becomes a stride towards a brighter future for all.
