Nimbo Bamboo Slip-On // Black + White Sole

The Nimbo Bamboo is a super light, cool, and breathable slip-on sneaker made from OEKE-TEK ® certified bamboo (a.k.a. the good stuff), with accents of pineapple husk leather. Why Bamboo? 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 durable, stable sole is crafted using YY ingredients of Algae or Sugarcane. Rubber inserts increase grip allowing you to get around with ease. The Nimbo is super lightweight—both on your foot and on the planet, with low carbon emissions (average 5.56KgCO2e per pair!) that really ups their feel-good factor. Slip into nature and head off on your next adventure (Errands count, too.)

Our Nimbo Bamboo Black/Black (Algae sole) has the lowest footprint in the industry. The Nimbo Bamboo sneaker with Algae sole uses 5.45kg CO2e, making it the lowest carbon sneaker in the world! The Nimbo Bamboo sneaker with Sugarcane sole uses 5.67kg 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 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!
