ℹ️ More about the Explorer V2

The Explorer V2 Men Recycled Blue was engineered in Portugal to rethink what modern sustainable sneakers can be.

Its durable hemp upper combines flexibility with strength while the proprietary waterproof coating helps repel water, dust and stains. An additional waterproof membrane keeps your feet dry throughout the day.

Inside, the world’s first hemp insoles naturally regulate temperature while helping reduce odor through anti-bacterial and anti-microbial properties.

The lightweight Algae Bloom EVA sole was developed together with Bloom Foam using algae-derived materials that contribute to removing harmful algae from aquatic ecosystems.

At only around 100g / 3.5oz, the Explorer V2 delivers an exceptionally lightweight feel ideal for long days on your feet.

Compared to conventional footwear, the Explorer V2 generates only around 4.1kg CO₂ emissions per pair, making it a more conscious alternative to traditional sneakers and leather shoes.

Perfect as vegan casual sneakers, lightweight travel shoes, waterproof everyday sneakers or sustainable lifestyle sneakers.

♻️ Care Guide
