Our goal is to create a positive future for people and the planet. It’s why we’ve set ambitious science-based targets to reduce our environmental impact and use bio-based materials.
We're bringing functional design, innovation, and purposeful materials together—so we can all wander a little lighter.

BLOOM
The Problem
Excessive amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2), a warming climate, and water pollution are causing harmful algae blooms to grow at extraordinary speeds. The overgrown algae consumes oxygen and blocks sunlight, which can have harmful effects on marine life and even people.

Bloom
Our Solution
Bloom, a natural material made from overgrown algae taken from freshwater and EVA.
Algae is a naturally regenerative resource that can double its size in as little as 24 hours without arable land or fertilizer. It's also found in almost any ecosystem (deserts, polar ice sheets—and even animal fur!)—making it one of the earth’s most renewable resources.
Not only that, but Bloom is restorative. Making just one pair of Bloom shoes puts 70L (that’s like 118 large coffees) of filtered water and 73m3 of clean air back into the environment.

SUGARLITE™
The Problem
A lot of shoes and clothing are made using synthetic materials produced using fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas). These fossil fuels account for over 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions that blanket the earth, trap heat, and warm the planet. It’s a big reason for climate change and why we’re invested in finding new natural material solutions.

SUGARLITE™
Our Solution
A sweet blend of sugarcane and EVA we call Sugarlite™. The sugarcane we use is responsibly sourced from southern Brazil. It’s renewable, grows quickly, and contributes to our Sugarlite™ material having a carbon footprint that’s 22% lower than a traditional EVA.
Currently, the Jefferson Sugarlite™ has a carbon footprint of 3.75kg CO2e, a number we are working on getting even smaller through design and innovation.

Supercritical Sugarlite™
The Problem
Performance materials and designs that offer comfort, support, and agility in athletic footwear rarely find their way into everyday lifestyle shoes.

The Problem
Performance materials and designs that offer comfort, support, and agility in athletic footwear rarely find their way into everyday lifestyle shoes.
Supercritical Sugarlite™
Our Solution
A supercritical foam made with our sugarcane-based Sugarlite™ material. It all starts by exposing gas to high pressure and temperature, transforming it into a state that's both liquid and gas. We then infuse this supercritical fluid with Sugarlite™ to create a soft and resilent performance foam.
The result? A foam where gas bubbles are evenly dispersed throughout, delivering a bouncy, spring-like effect with every step—offering enhanced support and comfort. With Supercritical Sugarlite™, you get all the benefits of high-performance foam while embracing the power of one of nature's sweetest resources.

SUSTERRA®
The Problem
Traditional choices used in the footwear world use petroleum-based materials—including thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU).
Working with our partners we are trying to replace these petroleum-based plastics with bio-based alternatives, so we can use what nature has to offer.

SUSTERRA®
The Solution
A durable corn-based polyurethane material called Susterra®. This is created by harvesting renewably sourced corn for its carbohydrate-rich raw materials (like glucose), fermenting it, and refining it.
This results in Susterra® propanediol, which produces less greenhouse gas emissions and consumes less nonrenewable energy from production to delivery compared to conventional TPUs.
