In tandem with surf champion and Sanük team member Dave "Rasta" Rastovich, and echoing the Rastafarian ethos of natural living (no real connection here, just a cool coincidence), Sanük is rolling out a new line of environmentally friendly sandals that might make Bob Marley himself smile. As the leading edge of the brand’s Spring 2010 collection, its innovative RASTA Project (Recycled And Sustainable Trade Alliance) hopes to spark "One Love" among all peoples of the world, inspire a wave of "Jamming" and affirm its corporate mantra, "No Stiff Shoes, No Cry."
Some of the materials used in the RASTA line include:
· Sustainable latex and cork molded foot bed, featuring jute inlay detail
· Layered hemp upper, providing maximum comfort, with RASTA labeling
· Recycled tire outsole, gathered from neighboring factories
· Super-soft, recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) liner and toe post
· Completely vegan and vegetarian
This pair of kicks is one of the item in my this year wish list. This expensive, Italian-made embroidered high trainer sneakers has round toe with rubber toe cap and serrated edging, reinforced metal eyelets and come with multi color beading and sequins on sides. Also come with quilted ribbing with beige suede edging along back of heel at top line. The upper is made up of calf skin leather. The insole is also leather with embossed logo of Lanvin.

Yes, there are other big names: Vivienne Westwood, Stella McCartney and Paul Smith come to mind. But the sudden death of Alexander McQueen leaves a gaping hole at the center of London as well as the world fashion universe.
