Hemp

Incredibly strong, easy to grow and inherently organic, hemp is by a wide margin the most truly sustainable material we work with. Hemp cultivation requires no pesticides or insecticides, and only a quarter the water required of cotton. Even better, it detoxifies and regenerates the soil it’s grown in, as well as removing CO2 from the atmosphere at an impressive rate.

As a fabric hemp has similar properties to merino, being antimicrobial (low odour retention, which means it stays fresher for longer), and both insulating and breathable. It also softens with age, and is one of the most durable natural fibres on earth.

Organic Cotton

The organic cotton used throughout our trainers is grown with the intention of minimising the impact of its creation on both farmer and environment. Organic cotton is cultivated without insecticides, pesticides, synthetic fertilisers, or GMO seeds.

Natural Latex Rubber

All our outsoles and foxing sidewalls are made from natural latex rubber from the hevea brasiliensis tree, vulcanised in a pressurised kiln at 120º to fuse the sole to the upper. Flexible yet durable, natural rubber is a naturally sustainable product that’s ultimately biodegradable at the end of its life.

Cork

Natural cork is the bark taken from the quercus suber, more commonly named the cork oak. Sustainably harvested with no damage to the tree it grows upon, natural cork is inherently anti-microbial (hypoallergenic & resistant to bacteria) and hydrophobic (repels water) making it the perfect material to stand between your feet and the ground.

Ortholite® Eco™

Our insole foam is made from an environmentally friendly formulation containing both a renewable sourced castor bean oil in place of the traditional petroleum derived foam, and incorporates a percentage of recycled rubber.

Recycled Packaging

Our shoe boxes and courier bags are made from 100% post consumer paper waste and printed from plant based inks.

How to measure your feet

Start with the EU size of your best-fitting trainers (usually on the tongue label or insole). Then measure your foot from heel to longest toe and check it against the foot length column.

Transparent Markups

From the outset we've been driven by a belief that simple, naturally derived products should be available at democratic, rather than exclusive prices.

By eschewing the traditional retail pricing model and partnering directly with our factory, we're able to reduce overinflated margins, reducing the total cost to our customers.

Our Partners

We work directly with our production partner in Dongguan, China, visiting quarterly to work alongside them sourcing, developing, testing and fine tuning each product we release.

Run by a mixed team comprising New Zealanders, British and Chinese, the best of both Western and Eastern values are present in the workplace culture.

Most importantly, a commitment to ethical manufacturing is reflected throughout the workplace. All workers are paid a living wage, and are provided multiple benefits including health insurance, a pension, on-site accommodation, and access to English lessons.

Naturally Sourced

In an effort to reduce the long term impact of the products we create, we go to great lengths to limit our use of synthetic materials to the bare minimum.

The uppers of these trainers are made from a beautifully textured organic hemp canvas, while the sidewall foxing and outsole are natural rubber latex from the Hevea Brasiliensis, tapped and collected by hand.

For cushioning we use Ortholite Eco® insoles derived from renewable castor oil rather than petroleum based, covered with a naturally sustainable cork veneer that helps wick moisture away from the feet.

Straat Hemp black / white

Love these sneakers they are so comfortable and go with most of my wardrobe. So nice to have a sustainable product that works.

Returned

It was too large for me, so I have since returned it.

Great Quality, style and comfort

This is the first pair of sneakers that haven't given my husband a blister. He wore them for a whole day from new with no problems and commented how comfortable they were for a new shoe. The casual and old school style was a winner! plus the natural fabrics +! Would definately love more of this brand.

Love these shoes

This is my third pair of collective canvas sneakers - so comfy and great value for awesome quality!

Such comfortable sneakers

These sneakers are comfortable from the first moment you wear them. They are certainly my go-to pair if I know that will be walking a few kms in the day.

Great Shoes Great Look

Love this brand so comfy and cool looking. I now have 4 pairs

I love them, the colour, the fit, the sustainability aspects!

Great sneakers. Fabulous customer service.

Best sneaker ever

They’re the best

Really nice shoes

So pleased I finally bought these - I was hesitant as I couldn’t get anyone to confirm their width. Excellent materials, sturdily made, and really comfortable. Will buy again I. The future

Best pair of shoes I've ever had

Genuinely the best pair of shoes I've ever had. I was unsure what to expect from the materials, but they're incredibly comfortable. I've had them for a few months now and they seem durable. Great to see a company that takes sustainability, transparency and workers' conditions seriously.

Excellent quality

Everyone comments on how good they look. My third pair!

Comfy

These shoes are great and have quickly become a favourite. I work on my feet and they have been comfy and caused no issues from day one. They look great am

Usually a US 10.5, bought size 43.initially a little tight across the toes but within half a day , perfect.

Best sneakers in years

Fit perfectly, so comfy, go with everything - why didn’t I get these ages ago?? Even better knowing they’re ethically made.

BIG FAN !

I've had multiple shoes from CC all super comfortable, stylish & with green credentials <3

Comfortable

High quality and sustainable

These sneakers are the perfect fit, really well made and instantly comfortable!. Love the company ethics and environmental footprint, highly recommend!

Best sneakers!

I love these sneakers, great colour and look and nice and comfy to wear. This will be my 5th pair of Collective Canvas sneakers…so I think that says it all.

Style + comfort

These Straat Hemp sneakers are super comfy, and they look great!

Best casual shoes!

I love the design, it’s so simple, and the shoes go with everything I wear them with. They’re largely comfortable to wear, with the only downside being the platform is slightly stiff and feels a bit heavy, unlike the rubber of shoes like say converses, but it’s not meant for running around in anyways.

Best part about it is that it’s eco-friendly! I recommend to everyone :)

Go to sneakers

Collective canvas are always reliable. Whenever I need new sneakers these are what I buy. Always fit, always made well, always comfy.

Hemp Natural/black

I wear sneakers all the time and although I’ve just got them, they’re super comfy once I got used to them. Very pleased.

Straat Hemp Olive

The shoes are really nice however I take a size 39 and these are just a little bigger than my other 39 shoes so I feel like I’m slipping out of them. I’ll sell them on

Super Comfortable Retro Style

A nostalgic hit- their 70’s vibes make them a perfect pairing with so many outfits and they are excellently comfy. A five star sneaker- my only reason for awarding 4 stars is customer service needs a little tweaking- I emailed regarding a small issue I had on their arrival but never received a response. Highly recommend the sneakers and am hoping the lack of response was a glitch in the system.
