The Cirrus Hemp Sneaker is made from a blend of Hemp + Tree pulp + fine Wool to make a super soft knitted slip-on sneaker! The hemp-based material is in a cool 3D knit design that outperforms conventional plastic based uppers. Formed using the natural materials extracted from processing the stalks of the hemp plant reduced the use of harmful chemicals and petrochemicals that are used in conventional plastic based materials. The upper resists moisture to keep feet cool and dry through any weather conditions, while the natural anti-bacterial properties of hemp keep the feet fresh and healthy.
The Cirrus Hemp sneaker is made for all day comfort. This plain toes style is perfect to dress up or dress down. The durable, stable sole is crafted using ingredients of Algae or Sugarcane, and Rubber inserts to increase grip allowing you to get around with ease.
The Cirrus is super lightweight—both on your foot and on the planet, with low carbon emissions (average 5.14KgCO2e per pair!) that really ups their feel-good factor. -The Cirrus Hemp sneaker with Algae sole uses 5.24kg CO2e. The Cirrus Hemp sneaker with Sugarcane sole uses 5.04kg CO2e compared to an industry average of 14kg CO2e per pair of sneakers. YY Nation carbon results were independently analyzed and certificated using ISO 14067 standards by thinkstep™ and Ekos (™).
