What do Dame Helen Mirren, professional longboard surfer Kelia Moniz and Robert Downey, Jr. have in common? As well as being award-winning talents, they all wore Brazilian brand Cariuma’s eco-friendly OCA Low sneakers (and under $100). And in honor of Earth Day, certified B Corp is releasing its best-selling kicks in two new colorways – so if you haven’t found the often sold-out shoes yet, now’s your chance to get them and get an extra benefit for the planet.

Made from organic cotton and recycled canvas, the $89 shoes come in an exclusive shade of bright green or sand (they’re also available for $79 in other colors). The eyelets are made from a bio-based material and the outsole is made from Cariuma’s new Bloom rubber, a lightweight and renewable material made from algae. Inside there is a comfortable, padded insert of sustainable cork and mamona (an organic, plant-based alternative to petroleum.) They are finished with the line “Stand Up for Mother Earth” to remind wearers of their impact on the world every time. step they take.

Although Cariuma typically plants two trees in the Brazilian rainforest for every pair sold, the company increases that number to 10 for products purchased through April 30. The brand says these efforts are helping to “restore the biodiversity and carbon sequestration potential” of the Amazon ecosystem, where deforestation has left less than 13% of the forest floor intact.

Mirren wore a green pair of OCA Low Top sneakers last year at the Cannes Film Festival, and other Hollywood stars who have entered Cariuma include Pete Davidson (who wore a black pair of the brand’s IBI shoes on Saturday Night Live), Jon Hamm, Naomi Watts and Noah Centineo.

Ethically produced shoes are shipped in recycled packaging and Cariuma meets certifications from the Global Organic Textile Standard, Oeko-Tex, FSC, Leather Working Group, OCIA International and other organizations.

The shoe brand‘s popular OCA shoes once had a waiting list of 26,000 people. For the Earth Day colourway, the brand is only producing the number of pairs ordered to avoid excessive waste, so if you need a new pair of shoes, you can shop the limited-edition shoes for women and men online. on the Cariuma website here.
