Sustainable Fashion


Cariuma imbues every stage of their sneaker-making process with this eco-conscious

spirit, from designing to curating materials responsibly, to shipping with single-box, recycled packaging. Cariuma gives back to the environment by planting two trees in the Brazilian rainforest for every pair of sneakers sold. Being better for the planet is their first priority.


Just when you thought your everyday sneaker couldn’t get any better.
