    Brand

    Cariuma is a Brazilian sneaker brand that was born out of a desire to do things differently—slower, more responsibly, and with respect for people and the planet. Its goal is to create timeless footwear that looks great, is extremely comfortable, and does not harm the environment. It was founded by two long-time friends, David and Fernando, who decided to leave the corporate world and design sneakers that are not only stylish but also in line with the values they live by – fairness, sustainability, and authenticity. Each pair of sneakers is designed with durability and comfort in mind, using organic cotton, natural rubber, cork, or bamboo.
