Vivobarefoot Hydra ESC JJF Barefoot Multi‑Terrain Shoes - Men's

Flow through the natural world. Vivo x John John Florence: Revolutionary high-performance swimrun gear.

The Hydra ESC is our pinnacle swimrun and trail trainer, built to thrive in the aquatic biome in harmony with nature. It’s a pioneering take on amphibious barefootwear, created alongside elite athletes to glide underwater, grip on land, and drain and dry quickly. Now in an exclusive colourway chosen by surfing legend John John Florence. The Hydra ESC is recommended by world-class surfer John John Florence for wild runners, swimmers, and swimrunners seeking a deep connection with the aquatic biome. It’s part of our Ecological Survival Collection. The materials drain and dry rapidly and stay light when wet. Hydrodynamic, quick-lock lacing allows easy on-the-move adjustments. A Rise foam insole, made with excess algae biomass choking up waterways, glides through water. And the Michelin© ESC sole grips even the slickest, most technical trails. Pinnacle swimrun footwear, pinnacle trail-running footwear.

Features
• Swimrun ESC Michelin© Outsole: The high-vis Michelin© sole for all-terrain traction. The Swimrun Esc Michelin© Sole is engineered with 4mm multi-directional lugs from sticky, durable rubber, giving you support and peace of mind over tough terrains. With unprecedented traction and grip across all surfaces(Including slippery ones), the multi-directional lugs let you brake and change direction with control. Ideal for any type of swimrun adventure
• Bloom® Foam Insole: The Active Bloom® Foam Insole is made using the first sustainable alternative to synthetic and petrochemical EVA foam, derived from algae biomass. This algae can damage our oceans, so harnessing it in our footwear helps clean up the environment
• Vegan: The main materials in all our Vegan products are synthetic and aren’t derived from animals. We don’t(Yet)have the transparency we need over the production of all the small components(Such as adhesives and dyes)used in these products to ensure they meet vegan best practices. So, whilst we believe the shoes are vegan, we’re not yet able to guarantee it and want to be fully transparent
