Shane and Shawn Ward sure do make a great pair, of shoes that is. The identical twin brothers have been shaking up
the footwear industry with innovative designs and silhouettes for over a decade. In the of Fall 2003, they launched
Detny by SHANE&SHAWN, a label committed to men?s and women?s footwear that suits fashion and function. The
brothers took their already established brand to the next level by introducing SHANE&SHAWN in Spring 2006. The
brands focuses on ?blurring the line between what people desire aesthetically ? and the ?fit and feel? of athletic
footwear,? ultimately, eliminating the choice between comfort and style on the consumer level.
ABOUT SHANE WARD
Born of seven brothers and sisters in Detroit, Michigan, Shane quickly learned how to distinguish himself in a crowd by
becoming a straight ?A? student. A graduate of the University of Michigan, he earned a Bachelor of Industrial Design. After
college, he scored a coveted internship with General Motors. But it was the position with Adidas that would fuel Shane?s
desire to design footwear. Being sought after by top footwear companies, such as Puma, Converse and Fila, prompted Shane
to start a freelance consultancy company, SW2DESIGN, along with his brother. Shane remains the creative force behind
Detny By SHANE&SHAWN and SHANE&SHAWN. He may call Detroit home, but he currently lives and designs in New
York City.
ABOUT SHAWN WARD
One half of the twin design duo, Shawn spent his youth in Detroit amidst a large close-knit family. Ambitious and intelligent,
he went from being a star-student at Cass Tech high school to attending the University of Michigan where he graduated at the
top of his class with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. He put his degree to use at Diamler Chrysler as a product developer.
All his life, Shawn has always been at the eye of the storm so it was natural next step when he relocated to New York and
became a day trader on the NASDAQ stock exchange before joining Shane in operating at SW2DESIGN. As the co-CEO
and President of Detny, Shawn lends his business savvy by managing marketing, research and finance. Currently he resides
in New York City.
SHANE&SHAWN and Detny by SHANE&SHAWN are available at fine boutiques and departments stores throughout the
United States, New Zealand and Canada. Nordstrom and Zappos.com are a couple amongst a robust list of retailers. The
brand?s flagship store opened in New York City?s trendy Nolita neighborhood during spring 2008.
