Kane Footwear collaborates with Brian Mazza to launch first athlete-designed shoe

March 4, 2022

Partnership marks the start of Kane’s athlete-designed (AD) collaborations, with a new colorway launch inspired by Mazza’s story

Westport, CT (March 4, 2022) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Kane Footwear is releasing their first collaborative design of the Revive recovery shoe with athlete and entrepreneur Brian Mazza. The shoe features earth tones and a printed message on the sole of the shoe that reflects Mazza’s story and mission: Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes.

Mazza, founder of HLP Training and lifestyle influencer, is the poster child for intentionality–he knows that wellness is not something you fall into, but choose. Mazza chose to quit drinking six years ago and changed his approach to life, not because of any issue, but because he wanted to consistently live a high octane lifestyle with nothing holding him back. Today, he chooses to set aside time to recover with the Revive recovery after his intense training days.

“I’m constantly beating myself up training, so it’s important for me to take the steps I need to recover,” Mazza said. “Everything starts with your feet, your foundation–when you take care of your foundation you set yourself up for success. I, unfortunately, have dealt with some major injuries over the years, and I have to take recovery a lot more seriously.”

Mazza joined the Kane team at their outset last summer, and has since been an advocate of the Revive’s combination of functional design and style. He loves the recovery features of the shoe, like the nodes incorporated into the sole of the shoe that stimulate his feet and achilles.

“We’re thrilled to work with Brian on the launch of our first athlete-designed shoe,” Craig Stankevich, Kane’s Chief Marketing Officer, said. “Our collaboration with Brain reflects our shared belief in chasing athletic excellence, and Brian’s life and work mission centered around intentionality: choosing a better life. Brian’s motto on the shoe, Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes, is a reminder each day to choose something better and work towards it.”
