For too long, sustainable shoes have come with compromises—excuses for why they can’t match the performance of traditional, oil-based, or recycled materials. At Zen, we say no more compromises and are setting a new standard when it comes to environmentally friendly performance trainers.

Our Secret?

We craft our shoes using bio-based, innovative materials sourced responsibly from nature, alongside cutting-edge sports science and biomechanical research. We rigorously test our shoes with athletes, including Olympians, ensuring they deliver exceptional performance at every level.

Here’s what sets us apart:

Our debut shoes were recognised as trailblazers in sustainable performance, and our latest launch—FUTUREOne—earned a spot on the prestigious Runner’s World 2024 Shoe Awards. As the only  brand to be recognised by its commitment to sustainability, we’re proving that high performance and eco-consciousness can coexist. We are on the path to create trainers made from  100% bio-based material, changing the game for good.

Our mission is to create a world where performance and the planet thrive together.
