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.
Cheers,
Rachel
ooops didn't realize it was posted already!!!! I wanted to scream i was so delighted with the designs and they are really making a shoe in honor of Matt! How wonderful!!!

So very cool ;D
This makes me happy and I know that Matt is just chuckling away that he has a Sanuk named after him, and he got so many of use (even us naysayers) to come around to his way of thinking.

^this. I wasn't allowing my hopes to get too high, but this is probably the most awesome thing I've seen since Nixon resigned (I was born that day, safe to come out and all).

yeah, can someone pm me a photo or somethin? ps, very cool guys. Very, very, very cool. I've been lovin Sanuks for years and years, just bought a pair tonight, as a matter of fact. Will continue to.
First, I'd like to let everyone here know how sorry I am that you lost a friend. Second, I bought a pair of Saunks because of Matt's suggestions before Bonnaroo 2009, though I never got to talk to him personally. I still have the same ones and it's time for new ones, but I'll be waiting until October to be sure to buy a pair of CarpeDMs in honor of the guy that introduced me to the perfect shoe. Today at school, a friend asked me if my Sanuks were TOMS. I said no and ended up telling him the story about Matt and how they were naming a shoe after him. My friend was so impressed with the company that he's going to pick up a pair of Sanuks, too.

Yeah, Matt is totally loving this. I'm totally getting a pair of the olive ones. I know what'll be on my feet at voodoo this year. I may have to order some other pair soon to tide me over til October.

Wolfaroo showed me these last night. I honestly didn't think they'd follow through with it. What a great company. Olive FTW. DO any of the Sanuks actually have the name printed on them? I don't believe my Kingstons do.

Fuking Shitballs!!!! How many times can a guy get teary eyed over the same story. ;D I fucking love it! This is one of the coolest things I have ever experienced. Like Vector, I tried not to let my hopes get too high, hurts when you fall. But they did it! Fuck-a-duck yeah! Olive for me please. Sanuk has my total respect and loyalty. Looks like I got my Christmas shopping ideas already answered, Sanuks for Mom, for sister, for brother, for Dad and for the woman at work that complains about her feet always hurting. This story is so baked with everything right and smothered in sweet goodness.
