A little bit about them:
We’re David & Fernando, co-founders of CARIUMA.
Long story short, after working together for a few years and bonding over our mutual love of boardsports (skateboarding, surfing & snowboarding) & our home country Brazil, we decided to join forces to start Cariuma.
We left our corporate jobs with a shared idea to build a company that would better serve people and the planet. We knew the industry-standard “cool-classic” sneakers were really uncomfortable and that the big corporations weren’t socially responsible and didn’t really care about sustainability in an active way.
We also felt we had a duty to take a stance against the wasteful practices inherent in fast fashion. It was vital for us to reinvent the sneaker game.
That’s why our sneakers are good-looking, crazy comfy and consciously made. We knew we wanted to make future classics with an increased lifespan that evolve with you and your sense of style.
What we think:
We’ve heard about them in early January 2020, for the first time. There was/is quite the hype about their fashionable and comfortable sneakers, which no negative footprint on this beautiful planet. We do believe that quality has it’s price, especially when talking about conscious clothing, in this day and age. We prefer to buy things only when we need them, second hand if possible or good quality, and wear them until they fall apart!
The sneakers start at 119NZD, and they currently offer free express delivery,when you use the code: consciouskicks

What we like about them:
- The eco friendly material they use
- Their beautiful design
- With natural materials, each pair is unique
- Their comfort, even after many hours on your feet
- The trees they plant, in the Amazon, for every pair you buy
- All the beautiful designs and colour variations
Honestly, choosing a pair will be the hardest part! Good to know, they do offer free returns/exchange!
This one is called “IBI low stone, black knit”
