8000 Kicks is the world’s first brand of waterproof hemp shoes, made from a naturally organic plant that removes heavy metals from the earth (hemp has no narcotic properties, unlike its cousin cannabis).
These shoes are water and dust proof, to keep your feet dry. Made ethically in Europe and China, the company also makes matching hemp backpacks for travel.
The soles are made from algal blooms (which keeps feet comfy and removes waste), these are ideal for active lifestyles.
The brand was founded by a Portugese entrpreneur, with help from his grandmother, who had experience in sewing hemp fibres for many years. He realised there was an avenue here to make good quality vegan sneakers.
