Our Mission is to accelerate the transition to sustainably produced footwear.
We make footwear production more sustainable by establishing local manufacturing that empowers communities and brands to produce eco-friendly products. We're creating a new local model focused on sustainability, starting with eco-friendly materials and developing shoe recycling solutions for brands and consumers to promote circularity.
Founded in Meridian, Mississippi.
Shloop Inc is a Public Benefit Corporation that reduces the environmental impacts of footwear manufacturing. Through education and training of sustainable footwear production techniques, we can boost our local economy through the creation of new career opportunities for artisans, designers, and technicians.
Why the Black Swan?
The Black Swan symbolizes a transformative event that changes how we see the world.
The pandemic and global supply chain breakdown revealed the flaws in off-shore manufacturing and our society's vulnerability.
We're here to show that sustainable, circular manufacturing can thrive in the USA, putting the planet and people before profit—a positive answer to world-changing events.
By empowering local communities and training the next generation of eco-conscious shoemakers, we’re giving creatives the freedom to do what they do best—CREATE!
