[edit] About Shiekh

Shiekh Ellahi began his career in footwear at the age of 17 when he was hired by a shoe store in a local mall. Within a few months, Shiekh was promoted to Assistant Manager and shortly after, Store Manager. After ascending the corporate ladder and relocating to New York City, he decided to launch his own footwear venture and moved back to the San Francisco Bay Area. After the success of his first store, he began opening additional stores in Northern California. The company has since expanded and now operates 92 stores throughout the West Coast and Southwest regions.
