In celebration of their 20th Anniversary, Dansko partnered with illustrator and typographer Jessica Hische to create a special limited edition Professional. This style offers everything that is special about the Dansko Professional - all-day comfort, fit, and support - with a unique upper design featuring words that reflect the Dansko “way of life”- their core values and commitment to thoughtful, conscious living.

“The design was inspired by fine furniture in which you can see the highs and lows of wood grain,” says Ann Dittrich, Dansko’s Creative Director. “The sepia-toned script on top of the rich brown background accentuates the depth and dimension of the material. Along with the distinctive upper we also developed a specially colored outsole to complement the shoe.”

The limited edition clog is packaged in a distinctive box which includes a shoe bag to protect this unique one-of-a-kind collector item.

About Jessica Hische
Jessica Hische is a talented, vibrant illustrator. She describes herself as a "designistrator" with her work reflecting her unique approach to lettering, illustrating and design. Recently relocated to San Francisco, CA, Jessica earned a degree in graphic design from Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia. Her work has been featured in many publications including: InStyle magazine, O magazine, New York magazine, Golf Digest and INC magazine.

What makes Aquatalia boots so special? Well, for one, their supple leathers and suedes are treated to be weatherproof. This means you can wear these boots outside through rain, sleet or snow without having to worry.

In the comfort department, Aquatalia boots all feature a well-padded, insulated footbed that uses memory foam to absorb daily shock. So all you city ladies can walk blocks upon blocks in Aquatalia boots! Lastly, their outsoles are designed to stay flexible, even in the harsh winter cold, not to mention, they’re slip resistant.

All these fantastic features all come in amazingly stylish packages, of course! We especially adore the faux fur and shearling lining in the Aquatalia Fall/Winter 2011 collection. Who says luxe style can’t be totally functional? Walk on in the stylish comfort of Aquatalia boots!

Zapponian Spotlight: Joey M.

zapponian spotlight,zapponians,zappos hq,army reserves,zappos culture,zclt,

For this week’s Zapponian Spotlight, we’re getting to know Joey M., a proud member of the US Army Reserves. Joey is one of our awesome ZCLT reps who left on a tour of duty for Afghanistan and rejoined the Zappos Family when he returned home.

We asked Joey a few questions to get to know him a little bit more:

What led you to join the Army Reserves?

J: I didn't want to wake up one day when I was old and say, "I wish I would have served."

What is greatest thing you have learned while in the Army?

J:  I've learned to excel in stressful environments, and that nothing really bothers me anymore.

What 3 words describe your personality?

J:  Determined, loyal, sarcastic.

What do you like to do for fun?

J:  Travel, watch sports, and work on my Nissan 350z

What is your favorite core value and why?

J:  #5. Pursue Growth and Learning - I love working at a place that allows us to learn so many things and pursue anything you have interests in.

What is your most embarrasing moment?

J:  I truly try very hard to not embarrass myself or let others embarrass me.  So I can't actually think of anything right now.  However, I'll leave you with  a great quote:  "A person always doing his or her best becomes a natural leader, just by example." - Joe DiMaggio
