If you're familiar with I-Path's history, you know they've been "humbly green since 1999." As a skate shoe brand that has always genuinely done things its own way, their return to skateboarding echoes this notion with moves like this.
They recently hopped on Instagram introducing their new vegan-friendly 'Hemp Pack' and as always, I admire them for always being so thoughtful with how they do things. Vegan shoes are often pretty hard to find in the world of skateboarding, so this is pretty rad. Take a look:
"Minimizing waste and utilizing the finest materials, hemp has always been heavily featured since our inception," I-Path writes in the caption. "This season we highlight vegan offerings of The Cats, The Grasshopper and The Cricket."
The Cats, Cricket and Grasshopper are I-Path staples. And again, the brand is certainly no strangers to utilizing materials like hemp. These new vegan offerings are a perfect reflection of their core ethos.
"We are committed to crafting high-quality, eco-friendly products that support an active lifestyle while minimizing our environmental impact," their website mentions. "Through innovation, sustainability, and a dedication to our customers, we strive to lead the industry in both performance and ethical practices."
Whether you're a die-hard fan of the brand, here for the nostalgia or are living a vegan lifestyle, it's rad that I-Path continues to make eco-friendly products like these. Plus, seeing them on skate shop shoe walls in 2024 is pretty cool to see.
And the fact that their team continues to grow, OGs are returning home and they're clearly staying busy behind the scenes has me (and countless others) super stoked.
Look for the new 'Hemp Pack' at select skate shops and on ipath.com.
Oh yeah—can we get a new Fred Gall video part? Thanks!
