When we started 8000Kicks, we had one vision in mind, to build the best-looking shoes made form as many natural materials as possible, and with 0 animal by-products. If we can build a great product with vegan materials then we can show everyone that it is possible to make superior products without having the need to exploit animals and the environment.
We chose HEMP, which is one of nature's greatest gifts. It is carbon neutral, needs no herbicides and almost no water to grow and it is also very durable. In fact, Hemp is so strong that Henry Ford even built a car out of it.
We are pioneers in hemp and our goal is to bring back this powerful natural fiber and make great vegan backpacks with hemp.
