We could give 200 reasons why you should buy our hemp runners, but we decided to keep it short to only 10. These are the last shoes you will ever need, and here are the reasons why you should not miss out on them. Or just skip this and pre-order now:

You have tried hundreds of shoes already, but what you haven’t seen yet is the comfort of a hemp insole.

Hemp is known because of its anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties. Also, it is a naturally insulating fiber that keeps your feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Our shoe is made of a one-piece hemp knit upper that feels like a glove on your feet. It’s easy to put on and easy to take off. Plus the upper is elastic and adjusts to your feet narrow or wide. Because no one wants to spend 2 minutes tying their shoelaces. 

You have seen light, and then there’s 8000kicks light. Our upper is made of a lightweight knit hemp material, while our soles are made of small air bubbles, which means you are literally walking on small pieces of clouds. 

Here’s another thing you probably didn’t see before. No one likes those bouncing shoelaces while running/walking around. That’s why we created a pocket where you can tuck them in, smoothly and efficiently. 

One of the great innovations of this shoe is the outsole. 

The midsole is made of a high-performance air bubble foam that delivers a high amount of energy when expanding back up. Inside this sole, there’s a carbon speed board which delivers an extra kick in speed when lifting your foot from the ground. 

The sole on the other hand is also designed light but with grip in mind for maximum traction. It is also made of up to 25 grams of recycled shoe fragments which helps clear landfills.

There are 2 things that make our shoes highly breathable. The first one is the fact that hemp is a naturally porous material which makes it very breathable. The other is the knit engineering on the shoe, which allows for good ventilation while keeping your feet protected from the elements. 

In order to offer more support while running we designed a shoe with extra ankle protection. Outside, we added reinforcement, and inside we added extra padding to make it super comfortable. Your feet are safe with us.

Most running shoes have an unfriendly toebox which will cause unnecessary rubbing and blisters, especially when running long distances. Our toe area has been enlarged to take into consideration the natural shape of the foot.

Hemp is the world’s most sustainable natural fiber, and we are here to make it great again. By using hemp we have a next-to-neutral carbon footprint, that we offset by planting trees all around the world.

We put a great focus on the environment and we use almost only natural materials like rubber and hemp. For that reason, the runners are 100% vegan and almost completely carbon neutral, only 7.1kg of CO2 emissions, that we offset by planting trees.

Because we all want to look good, no matter where we go.  Our hemp runners come with a very minimalist silhouette, making a perfect fit indoors when you need to go to the gym, or just casually when going around. 

The ultimate runners for any adventure have arrived. Outdoors or indoors in the gym, we got them all. Hemp yourself up with this pair of hemp runners.

There are more than hemp shoes in this campaign, there are also hemp socks.

Just below you have our first add-on, our pair of hemp socks which come in white and in black. Amp up your wardrobe with our new socks made from premium hemp fiber. Super comfortable and durable, they were made super comfy and simple for you to wear with your favorite pair of hemp shoes.

Introducing as well our hemp socks, which are made in the same material composition as the hemp shoes, except that they run in a shorter ankle format. Perfect for a more discreet look, but equally comfortable. get them now with your hemp running shoes. 

And why hemp Socks?  Because hemp is a fiber that has been used for millennia. Ancient Egyptians used it to make rope, textiles, fine linen, and sails.

Hemp is a naturally durable fiber that was widely used in textiles and shoes until it was banned in the 70s. Hemp is also naturally anti-bacterial and anti-microbial, breathable, and comfortable, which makes it a great option for building footwear and underwear. One of the great hemp properties is its insulation and temperature-regulating properties. For that reason, our shoes and our hemp socks remain warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

But there’s more than hemp socks on the table. Another amazing product we have is our hemp backpacks, which are not only durable, but very expandable and waterproof as well. They raised over 500k here on Kickstarter, and now too you can order them for a fraction of the cost.

So what are you waiting for? Order your hemp gear now for a fraction of the cost!

We decided to compare our shoes with other similar stuff in the market. Although there are exceptions, our goal is to have an all in one product, a shoe that is not only very functional and technically advanced but sustainable stylish and super comfortable for everyday exercise, or everyday wear.

We are experts in shoes and hemp. Also, this is our 4th campaign, which gives us some experience in running the campaign and delivering the product. Although delays may happen, we are ready to fix them and deliver everything as soon as possible. 

4 sexy colors to choose from, pick yours now for up to 50% off before the price goes up. Limited amounts of units are available at each price. 
NOTE: Colors and sizes, as well as shipping address, will be selected once the campaign ends. 

Our runners fitting is slightly wide as we have accounted for people running with them. Our Hemp knit is also a very adjustable material that will give in quite easily.

If you want to be 100% sure to get the right fit, you should look at pair of similar shoes and look at the CM/JP value. This value indicates the measurement of the shoes in centimeters and it is the most accurate measurement of your sizing.

If your shoes’ CM/JP is 27, you should pick the corresponding CM/JP in our size chart, in this case a US M8 will be too tight, a US M8.5 is fine, or a US M9 if you want extra room.
