ms.PERP + ComunityMade collaboration

UPDATE: This is the LAST pair of ms.Mateo’s. They are Men’s size 11.5. (They fit a little tight at first until the leather is broken in and stretched a bit) Once this pair is sold, Mike can begin another round of custom painted shoes to benefit Interfaith Community Services. 

The story behind the ms.Mateo:

On a sunny Los Angeles afternoon at 584 Mateo Street, an alliance for good was born. ComunityMade and ms.PERP found they share a common mission for helping their neighbors. The unique skill sets, mindful ambition, and experience in their respective crafts led to this one-of-a-kind custom painted shoe collaboration.

ALL PROFITS from the purchase of your ms.Mateo shoes will be donated to Interfaith Community Services, a San Diego County social service agency helping people to help themselves. Interfaith CS empowers people in need to stabilize and improve their lives through comprehensive programs, in partnership with diverse faith communities and people of compassion.

Every little detail of the ms.Mateo’s

• Handcrafted locally by artisans in Los Angeles paid fair living wages (NOT made in a Bangladesh sweat shop)

• Handpainted by Mike Smack to be uniquely individual, each pair is 1 of 1

• A classic runner silhouette with a new twist and added comfort

• Premium Italian leather upper that gets better with wear

• Deceptively simple lacing system for extreme comfort and fit

• OrthoLite anti-microbial insole, for supreme cushioning and breathability

• Lightweight cushioning thanks to our hand-buffed, high elastic EVA midsole

• Rubber outsole with classic herringbone texture for grip and durability
