RYZ- DESIGNED BY YOU. PRODUCED BY US.

Founded by a group of ex-industry sneaker geeks who believed in a better way, RYZ isn’t just another fashion brand. It’s a new way of thinking about the fashion business that includes getting input -- and ultimately forming a partnership -- with our customers.

Unlike the fashionista elite who dictate style from on high, RYZ invites anyone to design the perfect pair of shoes. We’ll produce the most popular designs, sell them around the world, and share the profits with the designer. Everybody wins.

What is the next…

Trend in design?

We’re seeing a lot of retro colors – loud stuff from the 70s and 80s. A lot of really technical designs, with detailed shapes and figures. We’re also seeing some politically driven designs, sometimes subtle and sometimes not.

Big step you’d like to make?

We are looking forward to the release of our low top sneaker this month. In the future we will be expanding to offer silhouettes for a running sneaker, flip-flop, and will have other materials to choose from such as leather.

Thing you’re going to fight for?

Democracy in the world of fashion!

Fountain of youth?

A dope pair of sneakers always keeps you young and makes any outfit interesting.

Book you’ll read?

What we're reading now is Bombin' Magazine.

Person to whom you’ll say, “I love you”?

To our next winning designer who will receive a $500 check and a $1 royalty for each shoe sold on www.ryzwear.com.....our little way of saying we love you!
