New York.– He's performed duets with Mary J. Blige and Shakira, but for his latest collaboration, Wyclef Jean is making a foray into the fashion world.

The Grammy award-winning artist and humanitarian is teaming with Timberland on the development of an eco-conscious footwear collection under the Earthkeepers line. The footwear is made from recycled and organic materials.

For every pair sold, $2 will be donated to Jean's foundation, Yele Haiti, to support reforestation in the musician's homeland of Haiti.

Those who purchase the Earthkeepers Yele Haiti boot will also receive a free CD copy or downloadable EP of Jean's new album, "From the Hut, to the Projects, to the Mansion."
