Flamingos Life

Wairoa Shoes

The Flamingos Life Wairoa is the brand's first retro running sneaker and combines the dynamic silhouette of the 2000s with a clear sustainability claim. Inspired by classic running shoes from this era and named after one of New Zealand's most turbulent rivers, the Wairoa stands for movement, energy and modern zeitgeist. Striking lines and structured overlays give it an expressive look that harmoniously combines sportiness and suitability for everyday wear. The Wairoa is made in Portugal using traditional shoemaking techniques. The upper material is made from corn waste and apple skin. The design is complemented by details made from recycled polyester. Inside, a bamboo and cotton lining ensures a comfortable fit and a balanced climate inside the shoe. The removable, padded insole offers additional comfort and supports you in everyday life as well as on long walks through the city. The stable construction and sophisticated sole architecture ensure reliable cushioning and a secure walking sensation. A subtle embossed logo rounds off the high-quality look. The trainers are delivered in a shoe box made from 100% recycled cardboard.
