Men's Spring 2009

HANE&SHAWN put a daring spin on a series of time-honored classic footwear styles for men. The selection of men?s offerings has grown to include
ankle boots and shoes alike. The super sleek style D.Dub, a square-toe slip-on shoe, boasts embroidered detail for an eye-catching profile, marrying a
modern aesthetic with rebellious flare. The swaggering Novick has an edgy studded detail on the back heel ? intricately spelling out ?Rock? on one
shoe and ?Roll? on the mate. The urbane and versatile loafer-style LePrevost is available in supple leather or lush suede. For those who favor a casual
style, there?s the Droughns, leather highly stylized patchwork slip-on with canvas trim. The low-shine Krinkle Patent leather offered in black transforms
the carry-over style, T.Carter, into an expression of dapper non-conformity.
Identical twin brothers Shane and Shawn Ward have been shaking up the footwear industry with innovative designs 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 focus on ?blurring the line between what
people desire aesthetically.?
Shane and Shawn?s extensive experience as consultants and freelance designers in the athletic footwear industry lead to the invention of the brand?s
signature ?luxury liner? ? a quilted leather pad that mimics the ?fit and feel? of athletic footwear, ultimately eliminating the choice between comfort and
style. And to ensure ease of wear, the sole of every Shane and Shawn shoe is equip with rubber pods.

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.
