In 2004, on his first trip to Indonesia, founder Kyle Parsons flip flop broke. He wanted something truly unique to Bali and had a pair of authentic Balinese sandals made for himself with tyres as the soles. As Kyle started to do some research, he realised the ever-growing trash problem and wanted to make a change. He came up with one solution to the problem: Using sandals as the new vehicle for this used tire material. Indosole was born.
Each year 1.5 billion tyres are being discarded worldwide. At Indosole they have found a better use for these tyres and have prevented over 100,000 tyres from landfills and given them new life as soles for footwear. Using artisanal methods, they developed a unique upcycling process and each pair is handmade with the traditional methods of making footwear.
Biome acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation (Burwood), Bundjalung, Yugambeh and Koombumerrii people (Southport), and Yuggera and Turrbul people (Meanjin / Brisbane) as the traditional owners and custodians of the land that we work on. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
