Episode 32: How One Entrepreneur Went from Shoe Designer to A Leading Footwear Retailer

Chief Everything Officer and footwear designer Darin Hager couldn’t find the sneaker style he craved at retail and his forward-thinking designs were hindered by the corporate footwear brands he designed for day in and day out for over 10 years. In 2008 he set out on his own to do what few other footwear designers had achieved; create his own sneaker brand, on his terms and by himself. Today, Heyday Footwear is the design-driven and independent sneaker brand for the freshest in fitness worldwide.
