WHAT ARE WE MADE OF?

BIO: WEAR MORE PLANTS
From nature, plus science
BLOOM algae-based EVA foam is a super bendy and light-weight material that revitalizes and maintains healthy waterways.
- Helps kick virgin plastics to the kerb.
- Production removes harmful algae blooms caused by chemical run-offs, only worsened by the climate emergency.
- Extraction process replenishes waterways with clean, fresh water, stimulating greater biodiversity.
What’s next?
We’re currently only able to use 5% algae but are working closely with BLOOM and others to achieve circularity.
RECYCLED: WEAR MORE RUBBISH
From recycled plastics
NATURAL: WEAR MORE NATURE
From nature to go back to nature
Our ancestors were already treating and working leather seven thousand years ago. But today we fundamentally disagree with how the global industry operates; most leather is a by-product of highly industrialized, non-regenerative farming practices and we want no part in it.
This is why we use Wild Hide leather from small cattle herds that spend their whole lives roaming freely outside, reared by independent smallholder farmers.
Where is our Wild Hide leather from?
Our Wild Hide leather comes from two partners: Pittards in Ethiopia, who meet European environmental practice standards; and Interhides Plc. in Thailand.
What’s next?
We are working with our tanning partners to eliminate the need for chemical additives and achieve a 100% natural tanning process for footwear.
