These Wally x Teton trade cloth shoes are as original as it gets. The outside looks like a traditional American Indian blanket and uses designs created by Native artists. The inside lining is paisley to create a subtle contrast. Toggles on the laces help secure the fit. The speckled midsole finishes things off. This product features patterns and art from Native artists from the Delaware tribe of Indians. About the partnership: HEYDUDE began exploring opportunities to improve the way we utilize graphics and prints to provide points of authentication — an initiative reflecting our brand’s intent to responsibly celebrate and feature authentic Native American and Indigenous art. In partnership with Teton Trade Cloth (TTC) by Lenape – a Native business 100% owned and operated by the Delaware Tribe of Indians – we're better positioned to source and authenticate Native designs and directly compensate the tribal communities and artists through TTC’s Artist Co-Op. When it comes to the design process, TTC shares with us its design library, featuring woven arrows, basketweave, geometric, and other Native designs. HEYDUDE purchases each print directly from TTC artists, who review every final design to confirm that the cultural significance of colors and styles are authentic, purposeful, and honored.
