Kicks for a Cause
This design is part of a new calming collection that utilizes artwork by Aliye Cullu.
About the Artist
Making a painting is similar to building a theatre set. Each day in a place is different with its moods, lighting, drama, and romance. The land, water, trees, and flowers all play their distinct parts in the scheme. Portraying Nature's fragile beauty is part of my role as a painter.
About the Art
"Invitation" was inspired by a weekend at the beach and painted as an illustration in Aliye's book, "Meditations: Gentle Reminders."
Supporting World Central Kitchen
At Aliye's request, all proceeds from the sales of these shoes will go to help provide nourishing meals to those in need by supporting World Central Kitchen.

Customer Reviews
Yes - We Use EU Sizes
Quite simply, shoes should be genderless. US shoe sizes don't accommodate this outlook, so we've adapted EU sizing.

WE TAKE SUSTAINABILITY SERIOUSLY
Sustainability is important to Kicks for a Cause. We’re getting greener every step of the way, while still providing you with the quality products you deserve.
Around 85% of all textiles produced by the fashion industry end up in landfills, making it a major contributor to environmental damage. What’s more, one in every five items produced by the fashion industry reaches landfills without being worn even once.
As Kicks for a Cause works with on-demand suppliers, we only produce items we get an order for, avoiding textile waste from overproduction.
Additionally, We use Kornit printers that generate almost zero wastewater and use less energy than standard industry printers, which lowers our carbon footprint.
The inks we use for printing are Oeko-Tex™ certified, vegan, water-based, and free of harmful chemicals. Kicks for a Cause takes care to properly dispose of any left-over ink according to the ink supplier guidelines.
