No, it's not a new take-out joint in Chinatown. My old chorus buddy and super-mega hair model LEE HALL told me to write about this new line of footwear from native Detroit twins SHANE and SHAWN WARD. Now based in NYC, in a past life they designed for Puma, Adidas, Reebok, Converse, Fila and Fubu, so their schtick is bringing athletic comfort to dress kicks. Launched in 2003, their men's and ladies' shoes are priced from $130-350 a pair. Find them on 238 Mulberry, Manhattan, department stores like Nordstrom's and online at Zappos.com.
Shane and Shawn's tagline: Boardroom Rockstars. Hmm, not quite convinced to give up my Pradas and YSLs yet, even though KEVIN SPACEY, THE BLACK-EYED PEAS and SHAQUILLE O'NEAL wear 'em.
