Bethany Hamilton: Shoe Designer

by The Editors on August 19, 2008

BethanyShark attack survivor Bethany Hamilton, 18, has designed jewelry for Claire’s, perfume for her own line, and now she’s designed a new flip-flop for Ocean Minded called “the Meilani,” which is Hawai’ian for “heavenly flower” according to a story in the Long Beach Press-Telegram.

Hamilton said her shoe is made for “people who are really happy and like to (be) a positive influence on everyone and enjoy life and a healthy lifestyle.” . . . She said she is encouraged by the green-living movement and wants her flip-flops to serve as a subtle reminder to respect the environment and keep the oceans clean.

The flips are made of sustainable materials and come in six colors. Cool.
