Guess the Name of Our New Blue Leather Color to Win a FREE Dash RunAmoc!

UPDATED 1/23/15: Our name guessing contest has now ended. The official name of our new blue leather color is... [drumroll]... Deep Blue Sea!

Congratulations to Jennifer for being the first person to guess. She won a free pair of the Deep Blue Sea Dash RunAmocs shown in the photo below.

Since we had a handful of other people also guess Deep Blue Sea (or Deep Sea Blue, which we deemed was acceptable), we decided to give them consolation prizes of $20 Soft Star gift cards. If you were one of the folks who made this guess, then check your email in the next few days for your prize.

Thanks to everyone for guessing! Deep Blue Sea is now available as a color option on all of our Design-Your-Own shoes made from our Sublime grade leather.

We had a lot of fun introducing our new Flamingo pink leather last week—thanks to everyone who helped vote for the name! This week, we have another new color to introduce, and if you can guess the name we picked for it then you can win a free pair of Dash RunAmocs!

The first hide of our new blue leather.

When we introduced our new supple sublime leather in 2014, we unfortunately lost a popular dark blue leather color. After some searching, founder elf Tim finally found a suitable replacement that meets our standards and feels great on a pair of Dash RunAmocs, smooth Roo Moccasins or any Design-Your-Own shoes that use our sublime leather.

Our new dark blue will be available on our website this Friday at noon. We already have a name picked out for it, but we want to know if you can guess it. The first person to guess the name of our new dark blue leather will win a free pair of these Dash RunAmocs:

The winning shoe will feature the new blue leather on the front and back with black sides and very special orange stitching—a thread color not normally available for our shoes. We can make this shoe in any adult size from 5U–14U (see our sizing page for help finding your size)

How to Enter:

To submit a guess, you simply need to post it in the comments below. All guesses will remain hidden until the contest ends. The first person to guess correctly will be the winner! The winner will be contacted via the email address entered with the comment. If nobody guesses the name we picked by noon (PST) on Friday, January 23, 2015 then we'll choose a winner by random.

Good luck!

Contest rules: Open worldwide to anyone 18 years of age or older. Void where prohibited by law. Ends at noon PST on 1/23/15.
