For their third collaboration, philanthropic footwear company TOMS and the always-stunning Charlize Theron have joined forces to design a limited-edition espadrille that benefits the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project (CTAOP).

During last Friday's launch celebration at the new TOMS flagship, the South African-born starlet explained to E! why she and founder Blake Mycoskie are a perfect pair: "We saw great opportunity to enhance each other's dreams of change in a way that might not have been able to happen if we didn't partner [...] I'm not ever going to get married, but this is the closest I'm going to get to a marriage that actually works."

The orange shoe, which supports vital HIV prevention programs in Africa, features CTAOP's sunshine logo and motto. Watch Theron discuss the collab here and shop women's ($58) and kids ($34) styles here.
