If you didn’t know, Michigan-based Chaco Footwear has a decommissioned school bus factory-on-wheels that it sends out each year. This year it also has a newer mobile operation, the Chillos Mobile Pop-Up.

Visit the bus and you’ll get a tour of Chaco’s mobile ops, plus access to free repairs for a variety of the brand’s Z sandal models. And while you’re there, you can also custom design your own Z/1 or Chillos sandals. (We got a sneak peek at the custom design process, and it’s pretty awesome.)
