South Africa native Charlize Theron and Toms shoes founder Blake Mycoskie have teamed up to design a limited edition set of men’s and women’s shoes for the Charlize Theron African Outreach Project.

The Charlize Theron and Toms shoes collaboration features slipper-style shoes made from vegan materials and inspired by the South African baobab tree, which appears on the shoes in the form of a tree pattern embroidery. The shoes feature Theron’s African Outreach Project logo and a portion of all proceeds will go directly to that charity.
