Alto Bamboo Hi-top Sneaker // Bamboo Black + Black Sole

The Alto Bamboo Hi-Top Sneaker is a super light, cool, and breathable shoe made from OEKE-TEK ® certified bamboo (a.k.a. the good stuff), with accents of pineapple husk leather. Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth producing 30% more oxygen than the same amount of trees. YY Nation’s research and development has created a unique soft but super strong material, with the added natural benefits of being antibacterial and resistant to moisture to keep your feet cool and dry. The lining is made from super soft merino wool that you can wear with or without socks. The Alto can be dressed up or dressed down making it a super versatile style.

The durable, stable sole is crafted using YY ingredients of Algae or Sugarcane. Rubber inserts increase grip allowing you to get around with ease. The Alto Bamboo is super lightweight—both on your foot and on the planet, with low carbon emissions (average 6.51KgCO2e per pair!) that really ups their feel-good factor.

The Alto Bamboo sneaker with Algae sole uses 6.51kg CO2e compared to an industry average of 14kg CO2e per pair of sneakers. YY Nation carbon results were independently analyzed and certificated using ISO 14067 standards by thinkstep™ and Ekos (™).

All Packaging is made from FSC certified, environmentally friendly cardboard and laces are made from recycled post-consumer plastic. They’re machine washable! Just remove the insoles and the laces and wash on a gentle setting in cold water. Air dry and voilà, they’re as good as new!
