Hemp Runners? Why on Earth?

Hemp is FAR more sustainable than all other footwear materials. Hemp is simply the most environmentally friendly plant going.

Hemp is...

• so green it’s carbon negative
• the strongest natural fibre
• pesticide free
• fast growing
• breathable and cooling
• enriching to the soil it is grown in (yes it really is)
• used for thousands of years, 8000 in fact
  

Why on Earth? Great question! Synthetic vs Natural Runner Soles

With most cultures on earth, the fact that our feet rarely touch the surface of the earth is not even considered. Go for a run or a walk with dog - sure it's great for our fitness, but there's more to gain from time outside.

"Grounding" has been shown to improve our neurological, physical and mental health. Think forest bathing and the feeling you get lying directly on the grass vs a synthetic picnic blanket or yoga mat. 8000 Kicks soles are not made of plastics but algae; not only sustainable but made of the earth, the organic sea bed itself.

The concept of grounding reaches much wider than a group of hippies lying starfish-shaped on a green field singing Kum-Ba-Ya. It involves the actual materials we wear and use between our bodies and the ground and it has been shown to give hundreds of health benefits to people from many walks of life.

How do you Get Runner Soles from Algae?

So 8000 KICKS partnered up with Bloom Foam to create a super light algae bottom with increased durability while sponsoring the controlled removal of excess algae from entire marine ecosystems.

Emitting just 4.1Kg of carbon per pair (as opposed to the average 14Kg)  your next everyday footwear choice can be a more mindful and natural one.

Fora Studios Australia is proud to be the Australian distributor for 8000 KICKS. Find out more about 8000 KICKS here.

Nice Bergamote by Antoine Maisondieu

"I imagine this fragrance as a tribute to the aristocratic beauty of Calabrian Bergamot, sublimating it with a few rose and jasmine petals and some precious woods softened by tonka beans."

Antoine Maisondieu

A sunny burst of the finest natural Calabrian bergamot leaves an impression of brightness behind, woven with a natural floral accord of rose petals, jasmine, and Ylang Ylang from the Comoros Archipelago. Precious cedarwood creates a warm base, softened by Tonka beans from Venezuela.

Nice Bergamote features a natural and sustainable variety of Ylang Ylang from the Comoros. It is harvested with a program of lowering the impact on the local ecosystem and by implementing a replanting program of trees.

It also features a duet of natural bergamots : Bergamote integral Orpur from Italy and Bergamot oil, as well as natural Jasmine Grandiflora Extract and natural Cedarwood extract. 

Essential Parfums source Tonka beans that support local Venezuelan communities, with microcredit opportunities and agreement to protect the local fauna.
