Say hey to Phelsuma madagascariensis — the Madagascar gecko, native to the eastern forests of Mozambique’s island neighbor. A colorful, insect-loving reptile, the Madagascar gecko shares in our appreciation of fruits, bugs, and lush forest canopy. Rare species like this are one of the many reasons we are committed to restoring biodiversity to our home rainforests.
Our love for the Earth is what first inspired us to create our sneakers. OCA Low is handcrafted for lasting quality, made with certified organic cotton, sustainably harvested rubber, cork, mamona oil, and even recycled plastics.

Our mission is to help restore the biodiversity and carbon-capturing potential of rainforests.
Since June 2020, we’ve committed to planting two trees for every pair of sneakers we sell. Our work starts in the Brazilian rainforest, where only 12.4% of the forest floor remains following widespread urbanization and agricultural logging. With the goal of restoring biological diversity in this essential biome, we plant over 120 tree species, based on what’s native to each site.

Get a Pair of Sneakers, Plant 2 Trees
Nurturing the planet is a cause that’s very dear to us at Cariuma. That’s why we decided to start our own Reforestation Program in our founders’ homeland, Brazil, where the rainforests are home to an increasing number of endangered plants & animals. For every pair of sustainable sneakers purchased, we plant a pair of trees in the Brazilian rainforest to directly aid in the restoration and preservation of these natural habitats.
