Founded in 2009 in Vancouver, Canada, Native Shoes was established by Damian Van Zyll de Jong with a mission to create lightweight, functional, and stylish footwear. The brand is best known for its signature injection-molded EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) shoes, which reinterpret classic sneaker silhouettes into single-piece, washable, and odor-resistant designs. Guided by its "Live Lightly" philosophy, Native Shoes focuses on accessible, animal-free, and lower-impact materials, including its proprietary sugarcane-based Sugarlite and upcycled algae foam.
