• Founded by Taiwanese fashion designer turned inventor Hui Min Yang, Unpair reimagines footwear through symmetry, interchangeability, and universal form.

Houston, TX, 21st February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Unpair officially announces a patent-pending symmetrical footwear system that challenges centuries of left-right shoe design. For centuries, footwear has followed a fixed rule: one shoe for the left foot and one for the right.

Unpair challenges that convention by introducing a patent-pending symmetrical footwear system designed to function without left-right distinction. The project presents a universal shoe form that can be worn interchangeably, eliminating the structural divide that has defined footwear design for generations.

The System & Reversible Toe Structure

At the core of Unpair is a precisely engineered symmetrical architecture — including a balanced outsole and neutral last geometry designed for ambidextrous wear.

Supporting this structure is a patent-pending reversible toe insert system. Positioned between the foot and the interior front of the shoe, the insert fills the remaining toe space dynamically, allowing the same shoe to comfortably accommodate either foot orientation.

This modular and reversible component enables a unified shoe structure without compromising alignment, stability, or comfort.

From Fashion to Innovation

Unpair was founded, invented, and designed by Hui Min Yang, a Taiwanese fashion designer based in Texas who transitioned into product innovation and entrepreneurship.

Known professionally as May Yang, she began exploring symmetrical footwear as a design experiment. What started as a conceptual study evolved into a patent-pending innovation and a startup focused on rethinking the fundamentals of shoe construction.

By removing the traditional left-right paradigm, Unpair opens a broader conversation about efficiency, modularity, and the future of adaptable consumer design systems.

About Unpair

Unpair is a patent-pending footwear innovation startup founded by Hui Min Yang (May Yang).

Headquartered in Texas, the company explores universal shoe architecture, interchangeable internal systems, and ambidextrous design principles — introducing a new framework for how footwear can be structured, manufactured, and experienced.

Norway, 24th Feb 2026 – Founder Solli Rothschild has announced the continued development and structured expansion of Rothschild Identity, a private advisory platform dedicated to digital identity architecture and long-term reputation strategy.

Rothschild Identity was developed to address a growing challenge in the modern digital environment: the structuring and protection of name-based brands, executive visibility, and reputation positioning within a globally searchable ecosystem.

“As identity increasingly functions as infrastructure in the digital economy, it requires structure, not improvisation,” said Solli Rothschild. “Rothschild Identity was created to provide disciplined advisory around positioning, clarity, and long-term digital resilience.”

The platform focuses on consultative, strategy-driven services rather than automated or reactive solutions. Its work centers on identity structuring, reputational risk analysis, and narrative alignment for founders, executives, and platform-based brands.

A Broader Founder Ecosystem

Rothschild Identity operates as part of a portfolio of independently structured ventures founded by Solli Rothschild across advisory, reputation, and curated luxury sectors.

These include:

• Rothschild Privé Finance — a private strategic advisory platform developed around capital architecture and structured engagement models.

• Rothschild Beauty Club — a curated beauty and lifestyle platform emphasizing design-conscious brand development.

• Luxury European Outlet — a selective commerce platform focused on premium fashion and accessory sourcing through European channels.

Each platform operates independently under its own governance structure while contributing to a broader ecosystem centered on identity, positioning, and controlled development.

Rather than pursuing rapid scale, the ventures reflect a measured approach emphasizing long-term resilience and structural clarity.

A Strategic Philosophy

Across all initiatives, Solli Rothschild’s approach follows consistent principles:

• Structure before scale

• Clarity before exposure

• Selective growth over mass expansion

• Independent platform governance

“Modern platforms require disciplined architecture,” Rothschild noted. “Reputation, capital positioning, and brand presence are interconnected systems that must be developed intentionally.”

New solution brings in-store purchase history and digital receipts directly into Shopify customer accounts.

San Jose, CA, United States, 24th Feb 2026 – Octopus Bridge today announced the launch of SmartReceipts, a purpose-built solution designed for retailers using Lightspeed Retail POS with Shopify. SmartReceipts automatically syncs daily in-store sales data from Lightspeed into Shopify, enabling customers to access their complete purchase history and digital receipts through their Shopify accounts.

As retailers increasingly operate across physical and digital channels, post-purchase experience has emerged as a key differentiator. However, many businesses still struggle with disconnected systems that separate in-store transactions from online customer profiles.

SmartReceipts addresses this challenge by eliminating data silos between Lightspeed Retail POS and Shopify.

With SmartReceipts, customer email addresses and phone numbers collected in-store are securely synced into Shopify alongside receipt-level transaction data. This allows shoppers to log into the Shopify storefront and view both online and offline purchases in one centralized location.

For customers, this means easy self-service access to digital receipts for returns, exchanges, warranties, and expense tracking—without relying on paper receipts or customer support.

For retailers, SmartReceipts delivers operational and strategic value:

• Reduced customer support requests for receipt lookups
• Increased repeat traffic to the Shopify store
• Verified in-store customer data for ethical marketing
• Improved retention through a seamless post-purchase experience
• Better visibility into omnichannel customer behavior

“Retail today is not just about selling—it’s about what happens after the sale,” said Octopus Bridge. “SmartReceipts helps retailers extend trust, transparency, and convenience beyond the checkout counter.”

SmartReceipts is built exclusively for Shopify and is available to Lightspeed Retail POS users seeking a true omnichannel post-purchase solution.
