Turning waste into sneakers GEN1 Cactus is a new approach to sneaker manufacturing. By replacing animal skins and heavy chemicals, natural and recycled components are used to make sneakers that respect both animal life and the environment.
Vegan Accreditations Our GEN2 are proudly accredited VEGAN by PETA. This accreditation confirms the completely cruelty-free nature of the GEN2, ensuring that no animals were harmed or exploited in the making of these sneakers.
