About 8000 Kicks
Introducing the world's most sustainable fiber and also one of the most durable ones. 100% hemp shoes and hemp accessories for you to wear daily while saving the planet. It's time for you to hemp yourself up from head to toe. Hemp started 8000 years ago and it was banned for the last decades. 8000kicks was born in 2019 and we want to bring back this amazing fiber. Why hemp? 8000Kicks 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 mainstream. Why are 8000 Kicks Shoes and Products sustainable: - Hemp Materials: Shoes made with hemp (eco-friendly crop). - Algae Soles: Some soles made from algae (cleans water). - Low Carbon: 4.1 kg CO₂ per pair (vs. 14 kg for typical shoes). - Vegan & Ethical: 100% vegan; ethical factories. - Sustainable Packaging: Recycled, biodegradable materials. - Durable Design: Waterproof, long-lasting shoes.
