Cariuma
Cariuma makes sustainably positioned sneakers from Rio de Janeiro, built around canvas OCA low- and high-tops, the CATIBA Pro skate shoe and knit styles using organic cotton, natural rubber, bamboo and cork insoles. It sells mainly direct-to-consumer, backs a roster of pro skaters and surfers, and plants trees in Brazil's Atlantic Rainforest for pairs sold. Brazilian fashion group Azzas 2154 acquired the brand via its ZZ Mall arm in late 2025 (reported October–November 2025). Founders David Python and Fernando Porto met at Arezzo&Co, an Azzas predecessor.

Does Cariuma run big or small?
Cariuma fits slightly large. If you're between sizes or usually take a half size, most people are happiest going down half a size in the OCA canvas styles, while wide-footed wearers should stay true to size. Cariuma sneakers are typically described as running a touch long, so many shoppers report sizing down half a size, though the toe box is fairly narrow and the CATIBA Pro tends to feel closer to true to size once the canvas softens.
