Stratus Cactus Men White / Clay / White

The Stratus is part of YY Nation cactus court sneaker range. Crafted using natural materials extracted from shaving cactus plant nopales, reducing the use of harmful chemicals and petrochemicals that are used in conventional leather and plastic based materials. The cactus range is light and cool on your feet utilising 'Wood pulp' Tencel™ lining that wicks away moisture and provides a cooling temperature regulating effect. The Tencel™ material has a silky-smooth feel while the cactus leather provides comfort and durability – Wonder made Wearable! The Stratus can be dressed up or dressed down making it a super versatile style, offered in a range of colours to suit your style. The durable, stable sole is crafted using YY ingredients of Algae or Sugarcane. Rubber inserts increase grip allowing you to get around with ease. YY soles are made from nature using natural bio-based materials like Algae or Sugarcane that don't emit harmful oil based chemicals into the environment like most other shoes. Using cactus leather accents reduces harmful CO2 emission caused from burning off this waste material, turning waste into wonder. There's less need for transportation as many of the raw materials are made into YY Nation's unique shoe components within 65 miles (100km) of our manufacturing home base. Small carbon footprint: the YY Nation supply chain has been designed and developed to minimize the YY Nation carbon footprint. YY Nation CO2e emissions are 42% to 61% lower than conventional sneaker emissions. It gets better. YY Nation sneakers are Zero Carbon certified. Whatever YY Nation removes from the environment, we put it back in by planting indigenous forests to restore the natural wonder for future generations and animals to enjoy. It's the YY Nation way.
