This spring-summer 2023, the artistic signature of the FAGUO wardrobe embodies a life philosophy: Pura Vida. Inspired by this hybrid Costa Rican way of life, FAGUO created the FOREST 1, a lifestyle running shoe for those who live a pure life between the city and the forest while reducing their impact on Earth.

FOREST 1 on your feet, between city & forest.
Designing a new last begins with asking what use it will be put to once worn. The FOREST 1 exists for those who make it a point of honour to choose a harmonious life between city and nature.
Its reflective panels will appeal to cycle commuters weaving through city streets or weekend cyclists escaping for a breath of fresh air in the forest. Its lightness will enhance everyday comfort.

Made from waste. With an urban outdoor character, the silhouette of the FOREST 1 is enhanced by its various panels in recycled materials.
If you love the blue tones of this model's panels, explore our eco-designed blue sneakers.
Its upper, which contains recycled polyester, along with its lining, reduces the CO2 emissions of the pair as well as the use of fossil resources.

VEGAN certified
At FAGUO, we consider the leather used in fashion to be a by-product of the food industry, not a waste product. It therefore has a very high carbon impact.
To "engage our generation against climate change", we eliminated leather from the FOREST 1 in order to play the lightness card — both underfoot and in terms of carbon footprint.
Our FOREST 1 shoes are certified by PETA, the world's largest animal rights organisation, to ensure the transparency needed by those who wear them.

Assembled in France
A few kilometres from the FAGUO forest of Monlet, the FOREST 1 was co-designed with a French workshop located in the heart of the timeless Ardèche state forests.

Specialising in the development of very comfortable soles, this new FAGUO last was naturally designed to be the urban dweller's asset — whether commuting by bike or needing to escape into the open countryside.
Our trendy, eco-designed men's sneakers help reduce the carbon footprint of your wardrobe and contribute to the fight against global warming.
