Hi everyone,

We hope you’re all enjoying an amazing summer! ☀️ Here in Portugal, it’s been super hot — almost too hot to handle! 🥵

Our Trekker campaign is wrapping up, and although we’ve had a few hiccups with some orders, we’re working at full speed to get everything to you as soon as possible. 💪 If your order is delayed for any reason, please don’t worry — just drop us an email at [email protected] and we’ll sort it out together. We’ve already contacted all backers with pending pledges and are working closely with each one to resolve things quickly.

For our EU and US friends, standard orders are currently sailing your way 🚢. Most should arrive by the end of this month, though a few may take until early September. You can track your order on BackerKit — the tracking will update once the boat docks at its destination.

If you have any trouble receiving your order in the next few weeks, please write to [email protected] — it’s the fastest way for us to help you right on time.

In the meantime… exciting news! 🎉 We’re about to launch a brand-new project on Kickstarter: a bag with unique features we can’t wait to share with you. Keep your eyes peeled around mid to late September. A little hint? 🚲 Perfect for a bike ride.

Wishing you all an incredible day!

Lots of love from all of us here ❤️
Bernardo, Grandma Otília, João, Rute, Patrícia & Mónica

Almost There – Final Tweaks Before We Ship!
10 months ago – Mon, Jun 16, 2025 at 05:57:34 AM

Hey Fellas 👋

Here's Bernardo, and guess what... We’re nearly at the finish line!

Production for your waterproof hemp travel sneakers is almost complete. The factories are buzzing, the shoes are looking amazing, and we can’t wait to get them on your feet. 🌍✨

That said, as with every great adventure, there are a few unexpected bumps along the road. We recently discovered a small but critical issue: the product labels had barcodes that couldn't be properly scanned by standard systems. A tiny detail—but one that could cause big delays in logistics, especially for global shipments. Everything has to be well done, but there's always small problems that need to be corrected.

So, we hit pause, corrected the issue, and reprinted every single label to make sure everything works perfectly once it leaves our hands. Quality and professionalism come first—because you deserve nothing less.

These final adjustments might push our original timeline back just a bit, but rest assured: we’re on it, and we’re moving fast. This is the last lap before we ship out to you. (pictures below)

We’ll be back very soon with shipping dates and more behind-the-scenes updates. Thank you again for your patience and support—you’ve made this journey possible, and we couldn’t be more excited to deliver what we’ve built together.

With gratitude and hemp-powered hustle,
The 8000Kicks Team
