Tarkine Sport Shoes

Tarkine is a performance running shoe brand that was born out of a passion for environmental conservation and elite athletics. Founded in Australia, the brand takes its name from the Tarkine (takayna) wilderness in Northwestern Tasmania, one of the world's most significant temperate rainforests. The brand was established with a focus on high-performance gear that minimizes environmental impact through the use of recycled materials and a commitment to longevity.

While the brand's design, testing, and headquarters are firmly rooted in Australia, the manufacturing of their technical footwear is primarily conducted in Vietnam. This allows the brand to access specialized machinery and skilled labor required for high-performance athletic shoes. Unlike many footwear conglomerates, Tarkine remains an independently owned Australian company, dedicated to supporting environmental causes like the Bob Brown Foundation to protect the wilderness that inspired its creation.
