DopeKicks – The Hemp Shoe That Just Crushed It On Kickstarter
The global shoe industry produces 25 billion pairs of shoes each year, yet like other forms of cheaply made "fast fashion", most of them end up in our planet's landfills and oceans – so the DopeKicks crew decided to bring sustainable design into their brand, using recycled materials that are durable & versatile in use.
There’s a new SoCal hemp brand making waves in sustainable fashion: They are DopeKicks, a startup vegan footwear company that recently launched their first product line on Kickstarter.
Led by CEO Bernardo Carreira (see interview below), the company has designed a waterproof hemp shoe featuring recycled rubber soles and durable, odor-resistant cork insoles. DopeKicks are made in Portugal under EU fair trade standards using imported hemp materials.
