This is F5 Globals’ first international collaboration, introducing a new product category within the brand — plant-based footwear. “Sustainability is at the core of our businesses. We want to design products that help people in the region to build a sustainable fashion culture for themselves,” says Sarisha Ved, founder of F5 Global. ZRC’s co-founders are footwear industry veterans and have designed shoes that are completely vegan and made using sugarcane, rubber, and eucalyptus. The styles are both lightweight and well-cushioned and have features of sock-like uppers with a snug fit and rocker midsoles meant to propel the runner forward.
