Derecho isn’t just a sneaker — it’s your go-to companion for everything life throws at you. Part of YY Nation’s cactus court range, it’s built to be versatile, comfortable, and consciously made for a lighter impact on the planet.
- Cactus Leather Upper: Crafted from shaved cactus plant nopales, Derecho delivers breathable comfort, durable wear, and reduces reliance on petrochemical-based leathers and plastics.
- Naturally Cool Interior: Lined with Tencel™ wood-pulp fibers, silky-smooth and moisture-wicking, keeping your feet cool, dry, and energized all day — whether you’re at work, running errands, or out on the weekend.
- Two Lace Options: Comes with a bold fat lace and a classic flat athletic lace, both made from recycled plastic bottles, so you can switch up your look to match your day.
- Bio-Based Performance Sole: Stable, durable soles made from Algae or Sugarcane, with rubber grip inserts — built for everyday confidence and traction.
- Ultra-Lightweight Feel: Moves with you effortlessly, from morning meetings to evening adventures.
- Versatile Style: Clean, modern silhouette that pairs with any outfit — from casual weekday wear to weekend explorations.
- Low Carbon Footprint: Average of 4.9 kg CO₂e per pair, far below the industry average (~14 kg CO₂e). Algae sole: 3.45 kg CO₂e. Sugarcane sole: 5.17 kg CO₂e. Independently certified to ISO 14067 standards.
- Zero Carbon Certified: Carbon emissions are reduced and fully balanced through indigenous forest restoration projects, giving back to nature and future generations.
