The #1 feature of the Nomad is its ultra-expandability. It starts as a casual 20L everyday bag when fully compressed and it grows up to 45L when fully expanded.

When we started 8000Kicks, we had one mission in mind, to disrupt the textile industries and show everyone it is possible to make great products by using eco-friendly fibers like hemp instead of other incumbent polluting ones.
Easy on, easy off. That is the best way to describe our backpack opening system. You are always 1 zipper away to access everything inside.
3 bags in 1. It couldn’t be more flexible than this. If you need something bigger, just expand it. If you need something smaller, just compress it, shrink it, and detach it.
You might decide on your gear but you definitely don’t decide on the weather. And more likely than not, you will be carrying your laptop, tablet, books and other water-unfriendly stuff. Protecting your items with a weatherproof backpack will be the best investment you ever made.
What is the use of a backpack if it doesn’t fit the airplane measurements? Our backpacks are made for airline carriers and all airports. You can expand it to around 30L of free extra luggage that you can bring wherever you go.
8000Kicks’ backpacks are made from industrial hemp, a sativa branch, known as the sober cousin of marijuana. Industrial hemp has been used since 8000 BC, and its properties include being anti-bacterial, needing no fertilizers and almost no water to grow, it cleans and restores the nutrients in the soil, and it is also very durable. In fact, Hemp is so strong that Henry Ford even built a car out of it.
We are pioneers in the development of hemp and our goal is to bring back this powerful natural fiber and make hemp shoes and hemp backpacks mainstream.
So what’s unique about our backpack? What stands it apart? We looked at what’s available in the market and made a generalistic comparison chart stacking multiple types of gear. And 2 years ago our hemp backpack launched on Kickstarter and it was a great success. This year, 2024, we are happy to push hemp another level with an even better backpack. After months and countless prototypes later, 8000Kicks is proud to bring another hemp product to life. We are proud to present our new style of hemp backpacks, with a new expandable design and a new hemp fabric that is more durable and more waterproof than ever.
