ShoesNext Officially Launches: Connecting Consumption and Care Through Philanthropy
San Francisco, United States, 26th Mar 2025, Grand Newswire – ShoesNext today announced its official launch. This startup team, composed of six people, after a one‐month trial operation, has embarked on a new model of in-depth integration of philanthropy and commerce with a global vision. The team, supported by a flexible business model and lower labor costs, has successfully achieved global operations and launched the independent website platform shoesnext.com for the international market, aiming to organically combine innovative technology with social philanthropy, provide consumers with a brand-new shopping experience, and inspire a sense of social responsibility.

The core business concept of ShoesNext lies in embedding philanthropy into every link of product sales. Specifically, consumers can purchase shoes on the website or donate shoes; users who donate shoes can receive additional shoe discounts, and the donated shoes will also be sent to Africa and other Third World regions to begin their new mission. In simple terms, ShoesNext takes charge of the entire process of a pair of ordinary shoes from purchase to being worn out.
In addition, for every pair of shoes sold, consumers will receive a set of DIY makeover tools, which not only encourages them to wear the shoes with attitude but also inspires them to turn the shoes into a canvas. This is not only about sparking consumers’ environmental creativity, but also about sending a message to another world in a tangible way. Operations Director Scarlett Yan said in an interview, “In an era when sending a message is so easy, we chose a way of sending information that is more difficult. Imagine the smile on the face of an African child wearing your own decorated old shoes.” This model not only gives traditional shoe products new social meaning but also creates a new experience for consumers to participate in philanthropy.
ShoesNext is highly concerned with the global footwear crisis. Data show that over one billion people worldwide lack suitable footwear, and about 300 million children are unable to attend school because they have no shoes [Source:https://thetricontinental.org/newsletterissue/36-poverty/]; meanwhile, developed countries discard about 300 million pairs of wearable shoes annually [Source:https://www.unsustainablemagazine.com/global-shoe-waste/]. During its trial operation, ShoesNext successfully recovered and donated over 15,000 pairs of shoes through a “trade-in” model, including 1,200 pairs of children’s shoes. Co-founder David Zhang noted, “The problem of children lacking shoes has always been an important driving force for our project; behind every recovery and donation number, there is hope for countless families to benefit.”
During the promotion process, ShoesNext anticipated that the market might raise accusations of “greenwashing,” but the team emphasized that this is not directed at the team’s actual operations, but rather reflects the accusations commonly faced by the entire industry. ShoesNext believes that only through real financial investments and technological innovations can the commitment to social responsibility be fulfilled. Therefore, the company has made substantial investments in every link, including warehousing, processing, and transportation, ensuring that the sale of every pair of shoes can directly support the philanthropic mission.
More importantly, ShoesNext is committed to creating an innovative model that integrates commerce and philanthropy. In the United States, consumer culture is deeply ingrained, and everyday shopping often lacks reflection on social consequences. ShoesNext puts forward a brand-new idea: every purchase is a philanthropic investment. It breaks the barriers between traditional commerce and philanthropy and promotes the transformation and upgrading of consumption. ShoesNext hopes that through this model, consumers, while meeting their daily needs, can also directly participate in global philanthropic endeavors.
“We are pursuing material abundance, but are we also neglecting social responsibility and environmental protection? Reflection is not easy, but starting to reflect is a good thing.” Scarlett expressed her unwavering belief in the mission of ShoesNext.
Within the next one to three years, ShoesNext plans to further cultivate its independent platform and continuously establish strategic cooperation with more non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to jointly promote the development of the commodity economy in underdeveloped regions. Specific measures include introducing African handicrafts to the international market and directly reinvesting part of the proceeds into local communities, thereby driving sustained local economic development. Departing from San Francisco, through the circulation of every pair of old shoes, this model can not only achieve commercial success but also have a profound impact in the field of social philanthropy, truly fulfilling the corporate mission of “Old Shoes, New Steps.”
About ShoesNext:
ShoesNext is a six-member entrepreneurial team company, with a global vision, opened the core business philosophy of the new model of deep integration of charity and business, is to integrate charity into every link of product sales. To put it simply, ShoesNext is responsible for the entire process of a pair of ordinary shoes from purchase to wear out, aiming to combine innovative technology with social welfare to provide consumers with a new shopping experience.

Christie Sikora’s BLOOD and GOLD Reexamines the Tragedy of Munich and the Global Politics Behind It
A powerful debut explores the human cost of conflict through one of the Olympics’ darkest chapters — based on factual truths
Costa Mesa, CA, 16th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In the summer of 1972, the world turned its attention to Munich for a celebration of unity, peace, and athletic excellence. Instead, it witnessed one of the most harrowing tragedies in Olympic history—an event that shocked international spectators and exposed decades of political neglect, unresolved conflict, and global indifference.
In her debut work, BLOOD and GOLD: Athletes, Tragedies & Dynamism of Peace, Christie Sikora offers far more than a historical retelling. Based on factual truths, this compelling book uncovers the personal stories and suppressed narratives behind the Munich tragedy, delivering an empathetic and investigative journey into the heart of a political powder keg.
“This isn’t just about what happened in Munich,” says Sikora. “It’s about what led there—and what the world has refused to acknowledge since.”
Through emotional storytelling and sharp historical insight, BLOOD and GOLD asks: • What forces drove this moment in history?
• What warnings were overlooked?
• Who has borne the heaviest losses?
• And how can we move toward peace — not just politically, but personally?
Sikora challenges simplistic narratives of good versus evil, inviting readers to confront the deeper realities of displacement, propaganda, and global injustice. She holds all parties accountable while pointing to the possibility of healing through truth, empathy, and awareness.
A portion of every sale supports humanitarian efforts:
• A $0.25 donation goes to Doctors Without Borders, a nonprofit humanitarian organization providing urgent medical care worldwide.
• A $0.25 contribution supports Dynamism to Peace International Foundation, which channels those funds to carefully selected nonprofit organizations serving traumatized children, women, and men in the world’s most vulnerable regions.
About the Author
Christie Sikora’s writing emerges from a place of deep moral courage and unwavering empathy. She refuses to turn away from the hard questions of war, justice, and memory — offering not just critique, but meaningful solutions. Her work urges readers to look beyond propaganda, to reconsider inherited perspectives, and to embrace a more unified, peaceful future.
Why It Matters Now
BLOOD and GOLD is a timely meditation on history’s unresolved trauma — and a call to action for today’s fractured world. As global conflict, polarization, and disinformation reach new extremes, this book offers clarity, compassion, and hope.
Availability
BLOOD and GOLD: Athletes, Tragedies & Dynamism of Peace is available at authorchristiesikora.com, Barnes & Noble, and select independent bookstores. Sikora will also host a series of in-person signings, virtual events, and global dialogues throughout the year.
