Buy a shoe, skate a ramp, plant a tree

Buy a shoe, skate a ramp, plant a tree

I confess to an enduring love for all things skateboarding. Perhaps I'm just subconsciously clinging to my youth, but I still dig the style--especially when it's sharp and functional. We found some cool kids' shoes that are perfect for fall (eek, it's October!) and encompass both features.
{Keep reading for an exclusive CMP discount on these cool shoes...and the chance to do a little good too!} My latest skate-centric crush is the Kids Jameson 2 Eco from etnies. Don't be fooled by the canvas upper and the gum sole--these shoes are built to ride, with plenty of sturdy support and traction. And even if your kids don't skate, the Jameson 2 Eco is suited just as well for tree climbing, bike riding, and racing around like a maniac.


Not only do these shoes look good, they do good too. They're totally vegan--no animal products whatsoever--and they're part of etnies' Buy a Shoe, Plant a Tree project, where each pair means a new tree in the Brazilian rainforest through 2012. Very cool. -Julie
