ANTOVA Builders LLC Steps Up Footwear Game with Innovative Jordan Dragon Shoe Collaboration

SPOKANE, WA – October 26, 2023 – ANTOVA BUILDERS LLC, a leading construction and development firm based in Spokane, Washington, today announced a surprising but exciting collaboration – the launch of the limited-edition "Jordan Dragon" shoe. While seemingly a leap from building structures, the company explains this venture is rooted in its core values of innovation, quality craftsmanship, and a commitment to pushing boundaries. “People might be asking, ‘ANTOVA Builders… shoes?’ And that’s fair!” says Mark Thompson, CEO of ANTOVA BUILDERS LLC. “But think about it. We’re in the business of building foundations – solid bases for things to grow. What’s more foundational than the shoes on your feet? And just like building a great structure, these shoes are about quality materials, thoughtful design, and lasting performance.” For years, ANTOVA BUILDERS LLC has been known for its commitment to sustainable building practices and its dedication to delivering exceptional results for clients across residential and commercial projects. The company’s reputation rests on its meticulous attention to detail, its use of cutting-edge technology, and its ability to tackle complex projects with efficiency and skill. This same ethos has been applied to the development of the Jordan Dragon shoe. More Than Just a Sneaker – A Blend of Design & Durability The Jordan Dragon isn’t just another shoe; it’s a statement. Designed in collaboration with a team of footwear experts and inspired by the powerful imagery of dragons – symbols of strength, resilience, and good fortune – the shoe blends aesthetic appeal with rugged functionality. “We wanted to create something that felt powerful and looked amazing, but that could also stand up to real-world wear and tear,” explains Sarah Chen, ANTOVA BUILDERS LLC’s Head of Innovation who spearheaded the shoe’s design process. “We approached this project like we approach a building: strong foundation, durable materials, and a design that stands the test of time.” Key Features of the Jordan Dragon Shoe: Premium Full-Grain Leather Upper: The shoe boasts a luxurious, yet incredibly durable, full-grain leather upper sourced from sustainable tanneries. This leather isn't just about looks; it's built to withstand the elements and maintain its structure even with heavy use. “We used the same principles we apply to selecting building materials – long-lasting quality and responsible sourcing,” Chen adds. Reinforced Dragon Scale Pattern: The shoe’s most striking feature is its unique dragon scale pattern, intricately embossed onto the leather upper. Beyond its visual appeal, this pattern provides added structural support and protection. “It's not just for show; those 'scales' offer real reinforcement,” says Chen. High-Performance Rubber Outsole: The Jordan Dragon features a specially designed rubber outsole with a deep tread pattern for exceptional grip and traction. This ensures stability on various surfaces, whether you're navigating city streets or tackling outdoor trails. “We needed something that could handle anything,” explains Thompson. “Just like the foundations we build, the outsole provides a solid base.” Memory Foam Insole: Comfort is key. The Jordan Dragon includes a plush memory foam insole that conforms to the foot for superior cushioning and support. “We believe in providing a comfortable experience, whether it’s a comfortable home or a comfortable pair of shoes,” says Thompson. Breathable Lining: A breathable lining keeps feet cool and dry, even during extended wear. This helps prevent moisture buildup and keeps feet feeling fresh. Hand-Stitched Details: A testament to quality craftsmanship, the Jordan Dragon features hand-stitched details throughout, adding a touch of sophistication and durability. Limited-Edition Colorways: The Jordan Dragon will be released in three limited-edition colorways: Obsidian Black (representing strength and mystery), Crimson Red (symbolizing passion and energy), and Jade Green (evoking prosperity and growth). From Construction to Kicks: A Natural Evolution So, how did a construction company end up designing a sneaker? The answer, according to ANTOVA BUILDERS LLC, lies in the company’s core competencies. “We’re problem-solvers,” says Thompson. “We take complex challenges and find innovative solutions. Building a shoe is surprisingly similar to building a structure. You need a strong foundation, durable materials, meticulous attention to detail, and a clear vision. We brought all of those skills to the table.” The company also sees the Jordan Dragon as an extension of its commitment to quality and craftsmanship. “We pride ourselves on delivering exceptional results for our clients. This shoe is simply another way for us to showcase our commitment to excellence,” adds Chen. Availability and Pricing The limited-edition Jordan Dragon shoe will be available for purchase starting November 15, 2023, exclusively through the ANTOVA BUILDERS LLC website ([fictional website address]). The retail price is $199. Due to limited production quantities, the company encourages interested buyers to sign up for email notifications to be alerted when the shoe becomes available. Looking Ahead ANTOVA BUILDERS LLC doesn't see the Jordan Dragon as a one-off venture. The company is exploring opportunities to expand its product line and develop other innovative products that align with its core values. “We’re excited about the possibilities,” says Thompson. “We’re a company that’s always looking for new challenges and new ways to push boundaries. Who knows what we’ll build next?”
