SHANE&SHAWN SHOES LAUNCHES NATIONAL MOBILE FLAGSHIP TOUR

Big things are happening at SHANE&SHAWN! This week the dynamic twin duo announced major plans to shake up their retail strategy. The brothers are taking the show on the road and will launch their first-ever Mobile Flagship Tour.

In one of their most exciting ventures to date, the innovative twins are taking their stylish designs on the road with the SHANE&SHAWN Mobile Flagship Tour. Shawn Ward, President and Co-founder of the brand explains how the idea came about, “We have always loved taking opportunities to meet the supporters of SHANE&SHAWN and are constantly receiving requests to open stores in other cities of the United States. We felt limited with a fixed location and decided to think outside the box, go beyond the concept du jour of the pop-up store and bring SHANE&SHAWN to the people in a way that no one has done before. We have created a luxury Mobile Flagship and will take the store on tour across the country. With our strong social media following, we can keep our consumers aware of our every move as we tour the US.” Keeping with their commitment to philanthropy, 10% of all sales during the tour will go toward eliminating violence against women and girls, with donations to V-Day (www.vday.org).

The twins are excited to announce the first three tour dates on the SHANE&SHAWN Mobile Flagship Tour:

Sundance Film Festival Park City, Utah January 21^st – 31^st, 2010

Super Bowl Weekend Miami, Fl February 5^th – 7^th, 2010

Tribeca Film Festival New York, NY April 21^st – May 2^nd, 2010

With the launch of their mobile flagship, the brand will be saying farewell to their Nolita location in New York City for the time being. Constant tour updates will be communicated via the SHANE&SHAWN Twitter and Facebook pages, as well as on their website at www.shaneandshawn.com. The illustration of the Mobil Flagship is attached.

ABOUT SHANE&SHAWN

Shane & Shawn Ward, twin designers from New York City, by way of Detroit, launched their shoe collection in the Fall of 2003 with the goal of making the most comfortable - hip - fashion shoes ever! A modern, edgy dress/casual shoe and accessories line for men and women that combines hip/stylish silhouettes with athletic comfort. The SHANE&SHAWN collection offers everything from super-sexy 4" women's heels to sport/casual men's loafers. This rare combination of fashion and comfort is achieved by incorporating a specially designed patent-pending Luxury Liner Insole and injected rubber ‘comfort pods’ on the leather outsole.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
