If you're looking for some standout kicks that no one else in your school will be sporting, take a look at the limited-edition offerings from Osborn. The brainchild of Carla Venticinque-Osborn and Aaron Osborn of Brooklyn, New York, each handcrafted shoe is made in a small run of only a few pairs.

Osborn owns its own production workshop in Guatemala, where every design is entirely fair trade and crafted with locally sourced materials.

Let's not forget - they're also easy on the eyes! Take the $98 Hermosa Turquoise (pictured, below), for example...

The $130 Black Flowered Boot...

Or the $80 Corte & Denim Slip On.

Osborn has also teamed up with red-hot clothing label Boxing Kitten (favored by megawatt stars like Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Rihanna and Fergie) for a 50-pair production of an oxford called "Cheeky"  (pictured, below). Cute and globally conscious, right?
