Created in response to the growing demand for footwear that bridges sustainability and style, this shoe blends classic outdoor hiker design with modern, eco-conscious materials. Olive suede and veg-tan leather are ethically sourced; the midsole is made from algae, or sugarcane, based EVA foam; the outsole uses recycled Nike Grind; and the mesh is recycled from New Balance. Designed for those who see the outdoors not just as a place to explore, but as something worth preserving, it offers rugged style, comfort, and versatility--because the world is pretty, and we should keep it that way.
