and are equally excited about the launch of a competitively-priced J & Co.

branded sneaker.”

The collection

is available in six styles consisting of three looks and retail between $125-$150.

The sneakers are also highlighted by full grain leather, metallic stitching

detail and the original J & Co. time zone watch logo.

Jacob the Jeweler’s signature shoes have been featured in numerous magazines

and such celebrities as David Beckham, Mary J Blige, Tyrese, Mariah Carey and

Jamie Foxx have worn the shoes.

The Fall 2006 J & Co. Sneaker Collection will debut in stores in July.
