The Pacific - Love the Planet You Walk On

Now available on

With The Pacific, you can look good, feel good and do good.

Sustainable and comfortable, The Pacific is made entirely from recycled materials –– our algae-based foam, the world’s first plant-based foam produced with algae biomass, and chrome-free recycled leather, a material repurposed from leather trimmings that would otherwise be destined for landfill.

An all-day shoe, no matter your agenda.

About The Shoe

Sophisticated, Comfort-driven Design

This multi-purpose sneaker has a sophisticated upper with a performance and comfort-driven bottom. Designed to support a life on the go, the Pacific streamlines your commitment to look good and do good. This forward-thinking footwear wears seamlessly from boardroom to bar while taking a big step towards a zero carbon future.

BLOOM™ (Foam) Algae Outsole

The performance-inspired outsoles are made from an algae-based foam called BLOOM, which is the world’s first plant-based foam produced with algae biomass. The algae is renewable, cleans the environment, and decreases our dependence on fossil fuels.

One pair of shoes made using BLOOM Algae returns 120 bottles of filtered water to the environment and keeps 11 total 12-inch CO2 filled balloons from entering the atmosphere!

Recycled Foam Runner’s Insole

By wearing The Pacific, you create cultural impact without feeling the physical impact. The insole expands and contracts with every movement, resembling a barefoot stride. Get ready to live in these.

Chromium-free Recycled Leather Upper

The Pacific’s upper is made from chromium-free recycled leather sourced from the repurposed scraps from leather tanneries. Rather than using new leather, we use a material made from leather scraps and remnants that would normally go to waste. This type of leather provides an elevated, dress shoe aesthetic and is not only sustainable but also abrasion resistant and lightweight. This eco-leather is produced with 95% recycled water and reduces waste yield by about 90% when compared to conventional leather practices in footwear.

Tencel™ Lining

Staying clean from the inside out. The inner lining of The Pacific is odor resistant and sweat absorbent. With similar characteristics to cotton and linen, this tree-based material allows for optimum breathability, even while worn without socks. The fibers are also biodegradable, which deters the growth of bacteria, and are of botanical origin.

Rubber Tread Pods

Designed with the athlete and traveler in mind, The Pacific is equipped with rubber tread pods for better floor grip and maximum flexibility.

True Fit

Our favorite shoes are the ones we forget we’re wearing. Our team put a strong emphasis on creating the perfect fit. Our custom lasts are considerate of the standard differences between men and women’s foot contour.

Our Contribution To Sustainability

Cleaner Manufacturing & Materials

In order to maintain an eco-conscious approach, our shoes are manufactured using less toxic manufacturing processes when compared to conventional footwear manufacturing practices.

Water-based assembly cement, chromium-free leather, GRS-certified 100% recycled polyester, organic cotton shoelaces without wax are four of our highly-sustainable material substitutions. The recycled leather alone is produced using 95% recycled water, decreasing waste yield by 90% compared to standard leather manufacturing practices.

We took it a step further by designing packaging made of 100% recycled paper and soybean ink printing.

Buy One, Clean Up The Ocean

For each pair of The Pacific that is purchased after our Kickstarter campaign, we donate proceeds to clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.

At year end, we will donate the greater of 10% of profits or 1% of sales to The Ocean Cleanup Project to literally and figuratively “walk the walk” in our effort to fight climate change. Many would argue The Ocean Cleanup Project to be the largest scale and most technically innovative ocean cleanup effort in history!
