U-Lace remixes line to fulfill “TODAY SHOW” prediction of becoming “the next SILLY BANDZ”

July 17, 2012 - PRLog -- U-Lace Customizing Lacing System announces a July 19, 2012 launch of “U-Lace Mix-n-Match.” This new product configuration addresses consumer needs and positions the brand for explosive growth heading into Back-To-School and Holiday 2012.

U-Lace was called “The next Silly Bandz” by NBC’s The Today Show style editor Bobbi Thomas. To view the video visit, http://video.today.msnbc.msn.com/today/38881089.  New “U-Lace Mix-n-Match” is a product configuration that leverages the Silly Bandz-like “gotta-have-them-all” business model, with easy-to-merchandise packaging and a “no brainer” price point of $3.29 at launch.

Each “U-Lace Mix-n-Match” pack contains 6 U-Lace segments, enough to lace a single typical low-top sneaker. Consumers can mix and match multiple packs to design color combinations and lacing patterns quickly and easily. With 42 colors available, there are almost 70,000 possible 3-color and over 1,700 2-color combinations possible. And with dozens of unique lacing patterns, everyone can create their own unique look - at a price that generally beats doing so with standard laces.

Said Tim Talley, Founder and CEO of U-Lace, “From its inception, U-Lace was designed to empower consumers to customize their sneakers in multiple colors and patterns. With the launch of Mix-n-Match we have kicked the door open and made it that much easier for consumers to be creative, use more colors and create awesome lace-ups. And it’s at a price point that makes 2, 3, 4, 5 and even 6 color lace-ups accessible and affordable to all.”
