Alo Alo Everyone,
We did it again. I am thrilled to share a moment of immense pride and gratitude with each of you while witnessing the campaign soar past the $12,500 funding goal in under 20 minutes. This achievement is not just a financial milestone; it is a statement of recognition of our mission to make the world a better place.
Behind the scenes, our team has poured countless hours into this endeavor. Late nights, early mornings, and persistent efforts have all contributed to the success we are celebrating today. We navigated the complex process of knitting hemp yarn with well over 10 failed prototypes, we have spent thousands of USD on new materials, we have failed on previous Kickstarter campaigns, and we have fueled all this learning into energy to succeed.
The choice of hemp as our primary material goes beyond fashion; it symbolizes our commitment to sustainability and reshaping the industry narrative. Hemp, with its versatility and eco-friendly properties, has the potential to redefine fashion's impact on the environment.
Our product is not just a shoe; it's a game-changer. The technical advances in hemp knit, coupled with sound features like a shoelaces pocket and a performance sole with a carbon speed board, set our shoes apart in the market. This innovation proves that it is possible to make eco-friendly performance footwear and compete with the big boys while using sustainable vegan alternatives.
As we celebrate this momentous occasion, we want to express our deepest gratitude to each Kickstarter supporter, team member, and believer in our vision. This success is a testament to the power of collective effort and the belief that small teams with big dreams can make a significant impact on the world.
Thank you for being a part of our journey. <3
Warm regards,
Bernardo and Otilia (aka Grandma Otilia)
Founders of 8000Kicks
