Heyday Footwear is the design driven, lifestyle brand for the fresh, young and wired taste makers who share our passion to stand out from the crowd, whether on the street, in the board room or on the dance floor. Founded in 2006 by footwear industry veteran designer Darin Hager, who has been a corporate designer for brands including Puma, Sperry Top-Sider, and DKNY, Hager yearned for the opportunity to design fashion forward footwear without the constraints imposed by corporate design committees.

As Heyday Footwear's Chief Everything Officer, Darin Hager, coalesced his then decade long footwear corporate experience into a design process in which disparate trends, styles or constructions are combined to create a fresh new look that stands out from the crowd and provides incredible comfort at the same time. The brands flagship model, The Super Shift features the 2 color, reversible Super Strap, a modular ankle strap that can be worn more than a dozen different ways to always keep you looking fresh.

Brand ambassadors include IAMMEDIC, Hot Chelle Rae, Jay Sean, Flo Rida, cast members from So You think You Can Dance, True Blood and Project Runway, and thousands of the brand's fans on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Brand awareness is raised through groundbreaking collaborations with social media influence site Klout.com, video game of the year Saints Row The Third and futuristic watch brand Nooka. Heyday's place in the music industry has also been cemented both through high profile placement and the release of the Heyday Mixtape series featuring Mobb Deep, Twista, Jay Sean, and Hot Chelle Rae.

Darin Hager says "As Chief Everything Officer of a growing, globally distributed fashion brand, I deal with challenges that an army of 15 full time employees would normally handle ranging from design, development in Asian factories, sourcing, logistics, shipping, warehousing, licensing, brand development, graphics, all social media content creation and curation, customer service, PR, marketing, celebrity styling, product placement, back office support....did I miss anything? Probably, but I wouldn't trade this for anything...My passion for design and the creative process is evident not only in the shoes themselves but in every part of the business as an entrepreneur. If you don't LOVE what you do, you're not doing the right thing."

Heyday continues to break new ground not only with its design driven footwear for men and women, but in the worlds of social commerce, celebrity product placement, licensing, entrepreneurship and brand building. Heyday is only available from HeydayFootwear.com and not in stores. We cut out the middle man, lowering costs  and leaving only the passion for creative design between the brand and the consumer.

It's not hype, it's Heyday.
