All models within the collection were designed to be eco-conscious, constructed with only recycled and organic materials. In addition, a special “Tree” t-shirts, designed by Haitian art students from the FOSAJ Art School, will be sold at Timberland retail stores worldwide and its online store. Similar to the footwear, for each tee sold, $1 will go to the Yéle Haiti Foundation to support reforestation and art programs in Haiti.
In helping raise awareness, Wyclef Jean will participate numerous in-store appearances, concerts and promotional events from now till 2010. This include Timberland‘s Earthkeepers Network “Dig It” tree planting event this weekend at Van Cortlandt Park, Bronx, as well as an appearance at Philadelphia’s Sneaker Villa on November 4th, Timberland’s New York City flagship store on November 19th and Atlanta’s Underground Station on December 3rd.
