Shaka Shoes, Inc., an eco-friendly manufacturer of branded casual footwear, retained Hampton Growth, LLC to provide it with investor relations and consulting services.
Hampton Growth, based in Santa Monica, CA, is an innovative investor relations and communications firm focusing on high-growth, small capitalization companies.
Andrew Haag, Managing Partner at Hampton Growth, commented, “Shaka Shoes is a dynamic and pioneering company in casual lifestyle footwear. This market offers exceptional potential for rapid growth as the economy in the U.S. rebounds from an economic downturn and the shoe market shifts from formal to more casual footwear as a result of changing demographics.” He continued, “Over the past twelve months, we have seen strong performance from publicly-listed casual footwear makers such as Skechers, Wolverine World Wide, Inc., Timberland Co., Crocs Inc., and Nike Inc., which has grown sales over 1020% in the last two decades to approximately $19.2 billion. Like these companies, Shaka Shoes, which has a unique niche in the casual footwear market, possesses quality management with the depth of experience and industry knowledge needed to succeed in this market.”
“We are very excited to have Hampton Growth design and oversee our investor relations program,” said Steven Wilmarth, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Shaka Shoes, Inc. “Andrew and his team have an excellent track record in assisting small-cap firms such as ours in unlocking value through effective financial communications and access to the professional investor community. We look forward to working with Hampton and leveraging their extensive network and expertise to realize our aggressive growth plans.”
Shaka Shoes, Inc. was founded in December 2005 by two brothers in Kona, Hawaii. The two created the casual shoe and sandal line that includes three styles: The “CABANA,” The “MAUI,” and the “WAVE.”
