Our journey begins with our grandpa, a man who cherished the art of growing. He nurtured plants, vegetables, and herbs, finding joy in the soil and watching his seedlings flourish. With his green thumb, he instilled a love for nature in his children and grandchildren.
Having grown up during the Depression, Grandpa understood the importance of resilience. He supported his family by picking apples as a child, he was a pioneer of sustainability long before it became a movement. He had an extraordinary talent for transforming everyday items into treasures, always seeking ways to make things last.
From him, we learned invaluable lessons: if something is worth doing, do it right; if you create something, ensure it endures; appreciate and respect nature; and never shy away from hard work in pursuit of your dreams.
In 2018, inspired by these principles, we set out to design a sustainable sneaker that could be worn anywhere, anytime. Our goal was to create a plant-based sneaker that balanced comfort and durability, a true product of nature that is good for both people and the planet.
The result is OG sneakers, born from our exploration of plant-based materials. Using a blend of hemp and pineapple leaves, we crafted a lightweight, durable, and comfortable sneaker. And we’re just beginning—soon, we’ll introduce new styles made from mushrooms, apples, and cactus.
Join us on this journey as we strive to create more sustainable plant-based products, crafted with passion and deep appreciation for all that nature has to offer.
