Adidas HempWhen Adidas came out with these hemp shoes a few years back, they were given grief about it by the federal government and chose to rename them from “Superstar Hemp” to “Gazelle Natural”.

Regardless of the politics, hemp is a very durable and “breathes” very well as a shoe material. The soles are made out of recycled rubber — making them metaefficient and completely biodegradable.

These shoes are now available in stores, see Overstock or this page.

Also available is the “Supermodified” hemp shoe:
