Selfridges X Feiyue: Innovative, Interactive Pop-up Booth Launch in Selfridges' Acclaimed Shoe Galleries

LONDON, ENGLAND, October 31, 2010

The forward thinking French sneaker brand Feiyue (www.feiyue-shoes.com) is proud to announce the opening of its first innovative, interactive Pop-up Shop exclusively at Selfridges, London on November 29 2010 until the end of January 4 2010.

The entrance to Selfridges' critically acclaimed Shoe Galleries will be transformed by the installation of a unique interactive Pop-up Shop - a dynamic, ever-changing conceptual space combining forward-thinking technical innovation and an explosion of colour to capture the essence and playful nature of the Feiyue brand.
The Selfridges X Feiyue Pop-up Shop is constructed of playful wooden building blocks, integrating benches, sales points and digital pads. These digital pads will feature the Feiyue i-PAD application, offering customers the opportunity to customise their own shoes live and direct in-store.

In the same spirit of one-off customisation, visitors will  be encouraged to interact will the design of the Selfridges X Feiyue Pop-up Shop itself. Visitors to the space will be offered cubes of different colours, allowing them to change the landscape of the space by adding to or rearranging the existing building-block design. Customers can use the building blocks as artistic tools, allowing them to leave their personal touch on the Selfridges X Feiyue Pop-up Shop space.
The Selfridges X Feiyue Pop-up Shop will stock an edited unisex selection from the Autumn Winter 2010 range, offering the option for customers to uniquely re-engineer the designs to their own taste. The selection has been edited by the young French team at Feiyue to reflect the best of the iconic sneakers offered by the brand in a range of fabrics - including the original canvas style, leather and suede.

The Selfridges X Feiyue Pop-up Shop epitomises the brand's slogan - Flying Forward - with an innovative, experimental and cutting-edge conceptual launch with Britain's leading department store.
