Sanuk have been around since July, 1997 when Jeff Kelley started making sandals out of inner tubes and indoor-outdoor carpet. While they’ve progressed into semi-proper footwear company (uh-oh), Jeff’s spirit of innovation still serves as the backbone of the brand. Today, Sanuk strive to make products that are as much about funk as they are about function and have found sandals are happiest when they tread the road less traveled – so they design ‘em accordingly. Because “Sanük” is the Thai word for FUN, our name is also their mantra
The 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, Sanuk are an eclectic little family hailing from Santa Cruz, Seattle, Cardiff by the Sea, the Philippines, Colombia, Hong Kong, and even Papua New Guinea.
