WHY HEMP SHOES?
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 it's properties include being anti-bacterial, needing no fertilizers and almost no water to grow, it cleans and restaures 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.

Our shoes not only generate a lot less CO2, they are also 100% vegan and animal friendly.
Someone said waterproof?
We want to build footwear for the active person, the challenger, the explorer, something that could provide the best experience under any condition, and that’s why we built them waterproof.
Our waterproofing includes a natural coating that repels dust and liquids, plus a membrane that keeps water out no matter what.
Ultralight algae bottom
Weed upper, and algae bottom.
Phenomenons like algal blooms can destroy entire marine ecosystems if not controlled.
We partnered up with Bloom Foam to create a super light algae outsole with increased durability while sponsoring the removal of harmful algae.

-
Is it really waterproof?
Our shoes have two layers of waterproof protection:
1- A coating that repels liquids and dust from coming in.
2- A membrane that keeps water out no mater what.
This means that our kicks work under rain and puddles. However, water might still get in from the ankle and the shoelaces area, specially under heavy rains or if completely submerged.
-
Is the explorer 100% Hemp? What other materials are used?
The Explorer V2 is not 100% hemp, as there are other materials in the mix, including a recycled polyester lining inside, a inner waterproof membrane, and a semi synthetic bioplastic sole made from algae.
The packaging is also made of recycled cardboard.
-
Is there a warranty? Are they durable?
Unfortunately we don't have a warranty because shoes are subject to maximum wear and tear. However, from our experiences both our hemp and our soles have performed very well on our "torture" tests and we can confidently say that they are stronger than any branded sneakers in the same price range. We also tested over 10 types of different glues to find a perfect fit that would survive under the harshest conditions.
However, if for some accident or problem our shoes do not perform as expected, please contact us and we can deal with it and issue a replacement pair if necessary.
-
Can I take this on a flight? Will police dogs come after me?
8000Kicks are 100% legal everywhere in the world. Our team has traveled to Italy, France, USA, Canada, Morocco, Portugal and many other countries without any issues. Hemp is the sober cousin of marijuana, which means that it has no psychoactive components, less than 0.3% THC, definitely not a drug. In some countries it is illegal to cultivate hemp, but it is 100% legal to buy and sell finished hemp products like soap, paper and apparel as long as it is produced abroad.

Can I smoke the shoe?
Do you really want to smoke our shoe? :-D
Hemp is the sober cousin of marijuana, which means that it has no psychoactive components, less than 0.3% THC, so you are definitely not getting high. Now seriously, please note that smoking the shoe is not a good idea and it might get you hospitalized.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT
THE FOUNDING TEAM
A 77 year old and his grandson
One night, after a few beers and joints with the boys, someone came up with the idea of making a shoe for smoking. It was a 5-in-morning-kind-of-idea, or maybe not.
Bernardo, the co-founder, asked the most unlikely person for help: Otilia, his grandmother, with over 50 years’ experience in textiles. Together, they spent over 1 year actively working with suppliers from around the world until what is now the World’s 1st waterproof hemp shoe.
