On the back panel you can also see a trolley sleeve for carry-on luggage making it easy to carry NOMAD around the airport. 

When we started 8000Kicks, we had one mission in mind, to disrupt the textile industries and show everyone it is possible to make great products by using eco-friendly fibers like hemp instead of other incumbent polluting ones. And that’s precisely what we have done by building a carbon-neutral backpack.

You might decide on your gear but you definitely don’t decide on the weather.  And more likely than not, you will be carrying your laptop, tablet, books and other water-unfriendly stuff. Protecting your items with a weatherproof backpack will be the best investment you ever made.

8000Kicks’ backpacks are made from industrial hemp, a sativa branch, known as the sober cousin of marijuana.   Industrial hemp has been used since 8000 BC, and its properties include being anti-bacterial, needing no fertilizers and almost no water to grow, it cleans and restores the nutrients in the soil, 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 the development of hemp and our goal is to bring back this powerful natural fiber and make hemp shoes and hemp backpacks mainstream.

Besides being super strong, hemp is also very environmentally friendly. It consumes 3 times less water than cotton, and it has a minimal impact on the soil. Hemp is historically called “weed” for its fast-growing properties capable of restoring the nutrients in the soil. Funny fact: Hemp is being used in Chernobyl to clean the solid off radiation.

So what’s unique about our backpack? What stands it apart? We looked at what’s available in the market and made a generalistic comparison chart stacking multiple types of gear.

FOUNDING TEAM – A 77 year old and her grandson

One night, after a few beers and joints with the boys, someone came up with the idea of making a shoe for smoking. It was a 5-in-morning-kind-of-idea, or maybe not.

Bernardo, the co-founder, asked the most unlikely person for help: Otilia, his grandmother, with over 50 years’ experience in textiles. Together, they spent over 1 year actively working with suppliers from around the world until what is now the World’s 1st waterproof hemp shoe. 3 years later they are back for more… the world’s 1st waterproof hemp backpack.

Today we are 7 people and we are growing strong all over the world with worldwide distribution and innovative hemp products coming out every year.
