Thanks Adbusters! We love your shoes : )

Pierre and the team would like to give special thanks to our Canadian Peeps in Vancouver for years of great publishing and awesome social commentaries.  We hope that one day we’re big and corporatiee enough that they can bash our faces with their awesomeness! Now go out and get a copy of their latest issue.

Just to clarify to some Monké fans, Pierre does not wear “Chucks”, AKA Converse Sneakers.  He wears Blackspot shoes made by Adbusters.  They’re not just sexy, but also Fair-Trade.

“Thanks Adbusters for the free copy of Thought Control in Economics! I love the Picture of me you drew!”

“Blackspot shoes are made with hemp, recycled tires and vegan leather and produced in fair-trade or unionized factories. We sell only to independent retailers worldwide in order to cycle money back into local economies”.

Every time you purchase a pair, they send you a little document stating that you are now a proud share holder of the anti-corporation. How cool is that?

Below is a great video that explains a bit about the process and philosophy of the shoes and the brand. Enjoy!
