ANTIshokk and ANTIslide are two of its leading comfort technologies. DeShazo adds that Green Step, an assortment of styles with eco and sustainability components, is a timely add-on to the collection.

Independent retail shops, better department stores and full price ecommerce sites are the brand’s targeted points of distribution. Tamaris.us is scheduled to go live this August; the site will offer an expanded assortment. An extensive marketing campaign throughout the Fall/Winter ’21 season will support the expansion.
