Another sneaker made from hemp canvas - a second collaboration with our friends at Buddy Hemp Goods 🤝
Just like the first pair, these sneakers are the end result of a year’s worth of back and forth with our favourite t-shirt brand, who’ve been championing hemp since 2018. We both share a similar goal: to take two everyday items in one’s wardrobe, tackle their manufacturing in a sustainable way, and obsess over their aesthetic details so the wearer will reach for that t-shirt and that pair of sneakers over and over again.
Numbers are limited on these - don’t sleep on them!
Recycle them with us at the end of their life ♺ More Info

Transparent Markups
From the outset we've been driven by a belief that simple, naturally derived products should be available at democratic, rather than exclusive prices.
By eschewing the traditional retail pricing model and partnering directly with our factory, we're able to reduce overinflated margins, reducing the total cost to our customers.
Our Partners
We work directly with our production partner in Dongguan, China, visiting quarterly to work alongside them sourcing, developing, testing and fine tuning each product we release.
Run by a mixed team comprising New Zealanders, British and Chinese, the best of both Western and Eastern values are present in the workplace culture.
Most importantly, a commitment to ethical manufacturing is reflected throughout the workplace. All workers are payed a living wage, and are provided multiple benefits including health insurance, a pension, on-site accomodation, and access to English lessons.
Naturally Sourced
In an effort to reduce the long term impact of the products we create, we go to great lengths to limit our use of synthetic materials to the bare minimum.
The uppers of these sneakers are made from a beautifully textured organic hemp canvas, while the sidewall foxing and outsole are natural rubber latex from the Hevea Brasiliensis, tapped and collected by hand.
For cushioning we use Ortholite Eco® insoles derived from renewable castor oil rather than petroleum based, covered with a naturally sustainable cork veneer that helps wick moisture away from the feet.
