IndoSole's presence in Bali continues to grow. Our latest media hit is a product check-out in the popular "Lines Magazine" which is a staple Indonesian publication which circulates local surf shops and beyond. We are simply stoked on this exposure! Big props to our Bali local marketing and sales crew, Menikmati Distribution. View the article here

With much anticipation and equally as much pride, IndoSole would like to introduce our upcoming print advertisement which will appear in the June 2011 issue of Surf Time Magazine. Makasi banyak and Thanks to our Bali Team and Surf Time Magazine

Although we're not directly linked together, we like to think that IndoSole and Deus are a collective that share the same stoke for motorbike exploration, music, art and surfing. This crew brings heaps of enthusiasm to our shared town of Canggu, Bali and IndoSole always feels the reprecussions of their hosted parties. Mega shout out to our Bali wrecking crew over at the Temple of Enthusiasm! Deus Dress Up Drags from Deus ex Machina on Vimeo.

Our good friends over at Live Agape have spearheaded a marketing campaign called "Sole Surfers" which focuses on young people who have positive influence in their communities. The first piece goes out to Gede "JUN" Juniartha who is a young Bali surfer with a dream. Jun's goal is to influence his friends to get an education, preserve local beaches, and to also support IndoSole's efforts of re-purposing trash in Bali. If you know of a "Sole Surfer" in your community...please introduce him/her to us...indo@indosole.com Sole Surfer - JUN from IndoSole on Vimeo.

The anticipation is almost over. BALI: Art, Ritual, Performance is premiering tomorrow night at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco. The opening night is going to include Balinese performances and music, work shop stations and of course the 131 art collections from the island. From what we have been hearing on streets, it's going to be a packed house. The weather is scheduled to be frigid in SF (maybe snow) so why not grab a beer and teleport to Bali. http://sf.funcheap.com/matcha-temple-dances-bali-exhibit-sneak-preview-asian-art-museum/

Although we proclaim San Francisco as our home, Bali is our true passion. When experiencing all the obstacles of operating a business, our small, tight knit crew is able to reflect on each other's euphoric Bali tales for mental clarity. IndoSole could not be more stoked to announce that many of the same elements in our Bali tales are coming to San Francisco, CA! The Asian Art Museum in SF is proudly hosting BALI: Art, Ritual, Performance. http://www.asianart.org/ The exhibition will include a variety of art mediums along with many featured artists so viewers can understand the context in which they were constructed and their significance. 131 artworks to be exact will be on site and a selected few have never been seen before in the U.S. Lastly, there will also be puppetry and gamelan performances, masked dances. IndoSole can't stress enough how interactive this experience will be. This is something for everyone. For those who either want to revive Bali memories, inspire the dreamers, or ones who don't have a clue. - J.U.

January is the busiest month for sandal production in Bali as its always a hustle to get our products made quickly and at the highest quality possible. IndoSole's rookie of the year - Jeremy Urone took a time-out in the workshop and bonded with our craftsmen and women and rewarded their hard work with gifts from our San Francisco clothing drive back on October 22. The goodie bin contained Tshirts, jeans, sweatshirts and some slick Mtn. Dew Sunglasses. Now our crew is styling while they crank out our best batch of sandals yet! Thanks to our hard working Bali crew and to all in the USA who have contributed to the Indo goodie bin. Happy workers make Happy Shoes - Big Thanks to Paola Loves Shades for sunglass donations

IndoSole marketing guru Jeremy Urone has reported to our Bali office for the month of January. His plan was to surf a ton, snap some photos and build on our marketing content. However, when sandal production starts to lag all hands are needed on deck to stay on schedule. Here is Jeremy on the line in the workshop glueing sandals and controlling quality as he goes. Welcome to Bali life Jeremy!
