Great News Daisy! I emailed Rachel the other day to say hello and see how things were. She emailed me back and said, "good things are going to happen". Looks like great things are going to happen! ;D Never thought about having to make sure CarpeDM was not already used.
Wow... that's really awesome that Sanuk is doing all this for one of its biggest brand advocates. It's really refreshing to see a corporation take the time and effort to do something like this. I've never worn Sanuks before, but I will definitely be buying a pair of CarpeDM's (or Sloans, or whatever they're called) when they're released!
Now I just gotta sit back and hope they make those babies in size 13.

No dice on the tie-dye blue sandals, but Sanuks go through size 14 so you should be good. Hopefully we can get the festival booth idea into action with the water cross-promotion. It's a slow process but I'll keep everyone posted. With any luck I can come up with an idea to schmooze a decent donation for Matt's Trees too. -------------------- Hi daisy,
I am afraid custom designing a Sanuk isn’t possible right now. We have a huge lead time on shoe design (we already ordered the majority of our shoes for 2011, and are halfway through previewing 2012).
However, I think you guys will like the Sanuk we chose to rename in his honor. Our Sanuks run pretty large usually (size 14), so hopefully that will accommodate most people….

Ok, one last update, I swear. Sanuk will try to make an in-kind donation of sandals to Soles4Souls (http://www.soles4souls.org/about/) in Matt's name. Soles4Souls started after Katrina and is based in Nashville so it seemed perfect for Matt. I encourage everyone on the board to donate their old shoes too (help the environment and those in need while clearing some closet space for the numerous pairs of Sanuk CarpeDMs you're about to buy).
------- Hi Daisy,
We do donate a fair share of shoes, I am not sure who they go to, but I will see if maybe we can redirect those donations for a while to the Soles4Souls. It is an excellent idea J
I contacted Rachel and asked her if they would be willing to donate a pair of Carpe DM's for me to take over to the tree planting ceremony at the roo grounds and hang from the tree.
^^^ Sanuk just keeps amazing me. I hope whoever attends the ceremony can get some good pictures for us all to see!! I wish that I wasn't in Arizona and I could attend!!!
This is so fantastic! If the tree ceremony is on a weekend, or even a Friday - I'll totally make the drive up from ATL. Thanks to all of you putting your efforts into keeping this train rolling! I bet Matt is LOVING it!

^Moi aussi. Here's one simple design for the water bottles. I've tested in print and it looks good all the way down to 9 copies per 8x11 sheet. You can print it on adhesive-backed labels and put it straight on the bottle, or a cheaper alternative is to print it on bristol cardstock and cut and punch a hole in the corner, and use a rubber band or string or yarn or whatever you have handy to tie to the bottle of the neck (tagging vs. labeling would attract more attention to the tag). The fleur-de-lis is from a sketch that I'm pretty sure that Matt drew.
If you want the original scalable vector graphic and want to add something to it, PM me your email addy and I'll send it to you. You'll need Inkscape www.inkscape.org/download/?lang=en if you don't already have Illustrator. Inkscape is free (GNU/GPL) and Illustrator is not.

WOW! Just got an e-mail with Rachael announcing it's a done deal and she sent pictures too of the new CARPEDM ready to ship in Oct. How amazing is this company for follwing through
Ah, I just got it too! I'm reluctant to post the photos without Sanuk's permission, but if you want to see them, send me your e-mail address. She said they will be for sale in October!

Hi Everyone,
I apologize that I couldn’t email each of you individually, but I couldn’t wait to tell you that I am very excited to announce that we have renamed one of our shoes from our Fall line in honor of Matt Sloan. The CarpeDM will ship in early October and is available for both men (sizes 7-14) and women (sizes 5-11).
Attached are photos of the upcoming CarpeDMs, you are the first to preview this Sanuk since it isn’t yet available. I have kept everyone around me at Sanuk up to date and the designer of this Sanuk was very pleased that her design was selected (she also was rooting for CarpeDM as the name).
I must confess that I feel very close to this community as a result of Matt’s passing and I want to keep in touch with all of you! So beneath my signature I have various ways to friend me, follow me, connect with me, etc. (I am a social media nut after all).
More details will follow with updates on a donation, future Bonaroo visits, etc.

I had the Sanuk conversation with a surfer in Cali this weekend, he swore by them too and I told him the CarpeDM story...he made me write down the name and said he will buy a pair...
