In my last post, I talked about how giving is good for your physical and emotional health. I'd like to continue that giving-is-good theme by highlighting the generosity of our portfolio company Wolf & Shepherd.
As part of a coalition of brands committed to providing aid in this time of crisis, Wolf & Shepherd, who make men’s dress shoes that are actually high performance athletic shoes inside, is pledging 10% of net proceeds over the course of the next month to Kidango, an early learning nonprofit committed to setting every child on a path to thrive from Kindergarten onwards. Kidango provides thousands of children, especially those from low-income families, with safe, healthy, nurturing environments and relationships. Right now, these efforts are focused on the children of essential workers.
What's the offer / How to help
The Wolf & Shepherd collection ranges from sleek, elegant wingtips to classy-yet-comfortable loafers - the ideal gift for your dad, brother or boyfriend this Father's Day. Shop the collection now.
Bonus: As part of their ongoing collaboration with Steve Nash, the Steve Nash Foundation will match Wolf & Shepherd’s donations to Kidango dollar for dollar.
More about Wolf & Shepherd
Founder Justin Schneider originated the Wolf & Shepherd concept by drawing from his experience as a track and field athlete for Notre Dame. Upon graduation, he worked for Adidas designing sneakers that utilized cutting-edge performance technology. You can find that same tech and attention to detail in Wolf & Shepherd’s ingeniously constructed dress shoes - the only brand offering athletic comfort alongside the highest level of quality and craftsmanship. Composed of premium Italian leathers and finished with high-grade waxes, Wolf & Shepherd makes dress shoes unlike anything else on the market. Watch this video to see how it's done.
