Cariuma, the brand that has absolutely captivated sneaker lovers (aka us!), is stepping into new territory with the JJ Backpack. We’re thrilled to introduce your new trusty school companion, designed with both style and sustainability in mind.
Cariuma has long been committed to leaving a positive impact on the environment, and the JJ Backpack is no exception: it is masterfully crafted from 100% recycled nylon that has a significantly lower carbon footprint than conventional nylon. In fact, each kilogram of mechanically recycled nylon reduces greenhouse gas emissions by a staggering 92% compared to virgin nylon. The energy used in its production is also 95% less than that required for virgin nylon. Impressive, right?

Beyond its impact, it’s also an incredible bag in form and function: its roomy, rounded silhouette offers space for all your essentials, and its side pouch is specifically designed to hold your reusable water bottle. The JJ Backpack can effortlessly accommodate laptops ranging from 13 to 17 inches – plus it even comes with a supportive chest strap to lighten the load during your daily adventures. The bag also washes easily, dries quickly, and maintains its shape, ensuring it will be your loyal companion for years to come.
For every JJ Backpack sold, Cariuma pledges to plant a tree in the Brazilian rainforest through its in-house reforestation program. By restoring the earth's lungs, the brand is actively contributing to a greener future.
If Vejas feel a little too trendy but New Balances feel too dad, these low-top lace-ups are a perfect in-between. They’re totally vegan, with a knit made from bamboo and a sole of cork, and he’ll be supporting a socially-minded B corp with every step. For a less starkly white sneaker, try the VALLELY PRO ($89), which have a grown-up skater aesthetic.
