Vivobarefoot ULTRA III WOMENS OBSIDIAN

This brand new color variant of the popular Ultra shoes is a great addition to the family of shoes made from Bloom algae-based foam - a sustainable alternative to foams from the petrochemical industry. The lightweight flexible construction makes the Ultra shoes an ideal travel partner. Ultra III Blooms are breathable and quick-drying, perfect for adventures on land and in water.

BLOOM is the first plastic foam of plant origin, which is partly made of algal biomass. These algae are a renewable resource and come from lakes and ponds with a high risk of overgrowth. Algae help maintain ecological balance, but if they multiply, they can damage water resources and life in them. By filtering out overgrown algae from these water sources, we help mitigate negative impacts on the environment. At the same time, by producing plastics from this biomass, we reduce our dependence on oil, which, unlike algae, is a non-renewable resource. We return the purified water, from which we remove algae by filtration, back into nature, thus keeping the ecology of lakes and ponds in balance.
