What so special about 'Sanuk' ?



Hi, we’re Sanük. We’ve been around since July, 1997 when Jeff Kelley started making sandals out of inner tubes and indoor-outdoor carpet. 1998 marked our first full year of operations. While we’ve progressed into semi-proper footwear company (uh-oh), Jeff’s spirit of innovation still serves as the backbone of our little brand. Today, we strive to make products that are as much about funk as they are about function. We’ve found our sandals are happiest when they tread the road less traveled – so we design ‘em accordingly.
Because “Sanük” is the Thai word for FUN, our name is also our mantra.
Our goal is to provide creatively inspired yet thoughtfully designed products for the global outdoor community…mostly because we’re part of it.
Headquartered in Southern California, we are an eclectic little family hailing from Santa Cruz, Seattle, Cardiff by the Sea, the Philippines, Colombia, Hong Kong, and even Papua New Guinea. With your support, we continue to grow and now have distribution across the United States and in over 50 countries throughout Europe, Asia, South America and Australia

Another Day 39 The Discern between Good and Evil

I might be young, but from what I've observed towards a world that fills with Good and Evil has reminded me something. Something that lives inside of us, a good role and a bad role. We were taught to trust in faith but somehow the media often portraits something that are skeptical, giving us the false information. Besides that, We are not sure when comes to making decision especially the tough ones. It seems like Something trying to restrict and the other actually trying to approve us to do things we wanted to do. It happens sometimes, whisperers from both sides telling you what are the consequences/ benefits and the price to play. So how do you differentiate whether it's right or wrong? Often, only through the right guidance and the heart of believing will lead you to the right path. Only God knows!

Another Day 38 Nothing Lasts Forever

6,667,871,675 people in this world, all struggling to survive in this battle called life. How different are we in the eyes of others ? Or rather, how similar are they in our eyes. We're all different in terms of what we are and what we do hence judgments arise from these differences which in turn develop into disputes. We all notice people, like how we are attracted to a certain someone, because they are different, special in other words or like how we wrinkle our noses at people who we label as queer and abnormal. Eventually, one will come to a point in life where he realizes the similitude of truth - that beyond the simple facades, we are the same and that deep down inside, we all break the same way.

Another Day 37 [CHANGE!]

If a glass of wine a day can help me in solving problems, I would bring in cartons of wine but it doesn't help at all, and it brings me more shits in the next morning. Not saying drinking wine is a bad habit or it might lead to something bad, What I was trying to clarify is people have often tried to runaway from reality for the sake of affraid to face the consequences. People are scared of something new or 'Changes' because they are fine with their own 'comfort zone'. They are not willing to change because something might just dissolve away. People have been practising something since the first day and they get used to it. Some people are smart, why so? Living in the fast-paced world, if we didn't accept changes for the past few decades and I can tell there will be no I-phone, Ferrari, Sony, plastic surgery(Girls generation So pretty!!), and etc.. Look at that, wasn't it nice if we accept the changes? And I call it, Technology. YAMAN!! Of course, Technoloy can't beat human because 'WE FREAKING MADE THEM'. Technology can be considered in perfect catergory but human 'NOT'. Not because of the skin colors, not the language we spoke, not the way we wore clothes, and No No No. It's Selfish. We often create a foreskin in order to protect ourselves from others, not sure whether it was a direct spear thrown attack or a backstab, ya... Just purely attack... Many people might look good from the outside but it doesn't mean deep inside of them are fine, their body condition might as bad as a rotten apple. Those who smoke cigarettes, please don't get offended. In the midst of searching the right things to do, or a good direction to start, we often find ourselves asking why are we slowly losing our personalities without reason, commitment goes astray, or even treating the important people in our life badly? To relate back what I said, Human changing overtime. It might sound a bit off or contradicting but try to think about it or picture it. If you can change the way you lived your life today, please be good...
