IBI Sneakers
Next-generation bamboo sneakers
CARIUMA has crafted a next-generation collection with plants & recycled plastics from heel to toe. They chose bamboo for its rapid self-regeneration – it’s cut from the stalk and grows back – leaving tree & soil intact.
IBI is made with knit that flexes and beautifully retains its shape. (It’s like an all-day hug for your feet.) The sneaker is floating-on-air-light – it’s got just the right weight to it. Its agile silhouette makes getting where you’re going a total breeze.
Every component of this sneaker is made with the earth in mind. IBI’s shoelaces and logo labels were made from threads of recycled plastics. It was important for them to craft a sneaker with minimal virgin plastics from heel to toe.
