366 Days of Kicks!

Earlier this month we had the pleasure of being a part of an amazing event in Portland, Oregon put on by Amy Jo Williamson of 366 Days of Kicks. Although we couldn't physically be there we definitely wanted to show some love by sending up some tees!

A little about 366 Days of Kicks... Since there were 366 days in 2012 Amy Jo decided to post something related to footwear every single day for the entire year to potentially bring appreciation to footwear and to highlight some really cool kicks.

To wrap up the year Amy Jo had a year end party sponsored by Scion and Nike to raise funds for Monsters on the Move Foundation which was created to provide aspiring, underprivileged dancers the financial support necessary to pursue a quality dance education and fulfill their artistic goals. Scholarship funds awarded to qualified applicants will be used to assist in paying for dance education at accredited schools, organizations or institutions.

We were so glad to have been able to include our tees in this awesome event. Thanks Vincent M. for making it happen!

Check out a few photos of the event!

Great speech.
