StreetTrend LLC Launches Limited Edition Shoe Label PS821 Following Successful 2018 Introduction Of P448 Luxury Sneakers
Exclusive new luxury sneaker brand PS821 will donate 8.21% of profits to a rotating series of international charities, including The Trevor Project, Water.org and No Kid Hungry
NEW YORK, Dec. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- StreetTrend LLC today announced plans to introduce its newest footwear brand PS821 — a limited edition line of Italian-made luxury sneakers that taps into the booming consumer demand for high-end style at accessible prices. Every collection of PS821 sneakers will be produced in ultra-limited runs, with no more than 500 pairs of any single style in existence. Each pair will be numbered individually and delivered with a certificate of authenticity.
"The PS821 mission is to do something that's never been done before — produce luxury items in limited runs. We are not driven by financial goals but rather by the motivation to provide one of the best quality sneakers on the planet. Our mission is equal parts design, fit and function — but most importantly, we want to bring awareness and support to extremely worthy charities that don't always get the attention they deserve, which is why we'll eventually rotate new causes into the mix based on the needs and interests of the world at the time," explains Wayne Kulkin.
"Our PS821 sneaker launch adds the elements of exclusivity and authenticity which are central to what luxury consumers are seeking. They want to express their own unique look from head to toe, and they avoid brands that are mass-produced and sold everywhere. We will do this while maintaining our gateway-to-luxury price point. We plan to partner on a seasonal basis with one luxury retailer per market."
Conceived and handcrafted by fashion-minded artisans in the Puglia region of Southern Italy, PS821 sneakers are created for men and women who embrace and embody a modern and global sensibility, both in style and personality. The design aesthetic is a fresh take on enduring silhouettes, all exemplifying a minimal aesthetic. Every PS821 micro collection is engineered to achieve perfection in both form and function using rich materials, thoughtful details and best-in-class workmanship, from the custom-created lasts to the hand-threaded laces.
The inaugural drop will launch with two key silhouettes, the Alpha (a core classic low-top) and the Bolt (a core classic runner with a neoprene upper and TPU accents). Both feature the PS821 signature wave detail, which has already been granted an official certificate of design by the European Union Intellectual Property Office. The wave is the design manifestation of what the brand refers to as the Physics of Style. Physics is the science that studies the movement of matter through space and time — much like waves are a disturbance that moves through space and time, PS821 sneakers are dynamic style disruptors that move around the world at all times and provide standout style with every new wave of design. PS821 sneakers represent life and style in motion.
The first PS821 sneaker drop will be available for purchase in the U.S. in December 2018, exclusively at www.ps821.com. Sizes range from 35 – 48 EU, and prices range from $375 to $450. Select styles will be available online in Mexico through retail partner Grand Via and in select boutiques in Mexico City, Guadalajara and Cancún. Worldwide shipping will begin in early 2019.
The launch of the PS821 brand is the second major footwear line introduced by StreetTrend LLC.
