Bared x Hannah Ranby Thirrithirri Sneaker
By Ally Deacon, Head of PR & Communications • 09/11/2026
Meet Hannah Ranby, a proud Gomeroi woman, artist and the creative mind behind our latest sneaker collaboration, Thirrithirri.
Inspired by her connection to Country, Hannah has created an original artwork, Seedpod, bringing together the colours, textures and landscapes that have shaped her life. The result? A very special sneaker with a beautiful story to tell.
But there's more to this collaboration than meets the eye.
For every pair of Thirrithirri Sneakers sold, $50 goes directly to Yalari, an Australian not-for-profit helping Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from regional and remote communities access educational opportunities at leading boarding schools across Australia.
And for Hannah, this partnership is particularly close to home.
Meet Hannah Ranby
Growing up in Moree, in north-western New South Wales, Hannah's connection to Country has always been an important part of her story.
Her artwork draws inspiration from the natural world, paying attention to the small details that are so often overlooked. The colours of the earth, the movement of grasses and the patterns found across the landscape.
"What inspired this painting was simply my connection to Country, and taking the time to notice what's around me."
For Thirrithirri, Hannah created Seedpod, an original artwork that brings together two significant parts of her life.
The banksia seed pod represents her connection to Yalari, her experience moving away from home to receive an education on Darug Country and the coastal Country she now calls home.
The colours tell another story entirely. Inspired by the vast floodplains of Moree, they reflect the open skies, earthy tones and grasses of the Country where she grew up.
Together, these elements create something deeply personal.
"The artwork brings those two parts of my story together. For me, art is a way of taking those experiences and putting them somewhere tangible."
Now, that story has found a new canvas.
Introducing Thirrithirri
A little art you can wear.
Featuring Hannah's original Seedpod artwork, our Thirrithirri Sneaker brings her story to life through colour, pattern and thoughtful design.
And, of course, there's all the comfort you'd expect from Bared, including our signature biomechanical footbed, designed to keep you supported wherever the day takes you.
It's a sneaker designed to look good, feel great and do a little good along the way.
A Collaboration That Comes Full Circle
What makes this collaboration especially meaningful is Hannah's own connection to Yalari.
As a former Yalari student, Hannah knows firsthand the opportunities that education can create.
Founded to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from regional and remote communities, Yalari provides access to educational scholarships at leading boarding schools across Australia, alongside ongoing support and mentoring.
Its work helps young people pursue new opportunities while maintaining their connection to family, culture and Country.
Now, through this collaboration, Hannah has the opportunity to help support the next generation of students following a similar path.
Every pair of Thirrithirri Sneakers sold, we'll donate $50 directly to Yalari.
It's a partnership that brings together art, education and a shared belief in creating meaningful opportunities.
Country Carries Our Stories
To celebrate the collaboration, Hannah travelled to her hometown of Moree to capture the story behind Seedpod.
From the wide-open landscapes and floodplains to the smaller details found in nature, our campaign film explores the places, experiences and connections that have inspired Hannah's artwork.
It's a chance to hear the story in her own words and discover what this collaboration means to her.
Because Country carries our stories. And we carry them with us.
A beautiful artwork, a meaningful partnership and one very special sneaker.
Meet Thirrithirri, featuring original artwork by Hannah Ranby, with $50 from every pair sold supporting Yalari and the next generation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
