History of the Native Nova Hydroknit
The Vancouver-based company named Native Shoes was founded back in 2009 by Scott Hawthorn and Damien van zyll de Jong. Its main goal was to release casual shoes with a unique look and feel with great functionality that is hardly seen in other brands.
It did get to bring out silhouettes that are lightweight, durable, and comfortable to use on different occasions and conditions.
Although it hasn't been long since it first started, Native has grown exponentially with branches released in about 30 countries. From releasing EVA silhouettes, the brand took various innovative approaches to the materials used in making a shoe.
The result was coming up with high-tech materials such as the form-fitting 3D knit and incorporated them into their future releases.
This time, Native brings out a shoe made with minimal waste materials, and that is the Nova Hydroknit. It is made of future fibres and recycled materials that offer breathability and lightweight comfort. Its waterproof features grant long-lasting protection every day from either rain or snow.
To keep the foot warm and dry, this pair comes with a waterproof membrane and water and stain-resistant spray protection. Plus, it also features a 3D knit upper, which gives a lightweight and sock-like feel that allows free movement.
