Trama One of the main brand values of Amsterdam is cleanliness. But every year thousands of kilos of chewing gum finds its way on to the streets. To make people aware of this problem the agency came up with a unique solution. Gum is made from a synthetic rubber, so loads of it were scraped off the streets and turned into something people actually want: the Gumshoe, the first shoe made from recycled gum. In addition, gum recycling bins were placed throughout the city, providing material for even more sneakers.

Sports shoes made of chewing gum? They sound sticky and unpleasant. But as gum is actually made of synthetic rubber, the result was wearable and faintly fragrant. The gum was scraped from Amsterdam's streets in a protest against littering. As well as creating the Gumshoe, the agency put more gum recycling bins in place.
Filosofia Amsterdam Metropolitan Area launches today, a unique creation Gumshoe which are sneakers with soles made from chewing gum taken from the streets of Amsterdam.
Problema Amsterdam Metropolitan Area, a non-profit organization, is constantly working on improving the city’s image and reputation. One of their key focuses is to keep Amsterdam beautiful and clean.
The initiative aims to improve the city’s image and reputation with cleaner streets and raise awareness of the chewing gum littering problem.  
This idea provides them with an opportunity to create a useful product while cleaning the streets.
