Let’s get this straight: This is a pair of thongs decorated with the artwork of Ken Done, with portions of the proceeds helping save the Sunshine State’s crown jewel, the Great Barrier Reef.

This might be the most Australian power move ever from Havaianas, who have also enlisted Mimi Elashiry to model the upcoming summer staples. The footwear is decorated with Ken’s renowned Barrier Reef Garden artwork from 1984, which has been rebirthed for you to culturally enlighten your feet in the warmer weather. Ken definitely has his finger on the button, saying “summer to me is all about the great outdoors – the beach, the sun and that feeling of excitement and adventure. I chose my Barrier Reef Garden artwork for this exclusive Havaianas style as it’s bright, fun and perfect for Aussies to wear to the beach.”

Part of the proceeds will go to the Great Barrier Reef Foundation, a cause which I’m sure we can all get behind. You can see the thongs below on Mimi Elashiry, who also impressed us all earlier this week in her shoot for GQ Italy. Grab your pair of the Ken Done collabos on pre-sale here, while they’ll be hitting wider retailers on September 30. Have a geez below:
