Athlete's Foot "In My Shoes" Campaign Gives Students the Chance to Meet Pro Athletes

ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - September 13, 2007) - The Athlete's Foot (TAF) announced today that Broncos wide receiver Brandon Stokley, Eagles wide receiver Reggie Brown, Texans running back Ahman Green and Lions quarterback Jon Kitna have joined the roster of pro athletes participating in the company's "In My Shoes" campaign. The athletes will make personal appearances at TAF locations in markets around the country, signing autographs for the public and presenting prizes to regional winners of the "In My Shoes" contest, which rewards young student athletes (ages 13-18) for setting goals for the new school year.

Other participating athletes, previously announced, include:

-- Redskins running back Clinton Portis

-- Carolina Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward

-- Chicago White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle

-- New York Knicks forward David Lee

-- Atlanta Falcons running back Warrick Dunn

"TAF is dedicated to inspiring and enabling peak performance from our shoppers, including student athletes who are starting a new school year with ambitious goals in mind," commented Robert W. D'Loren, President and CEO of NexCen Brands, Inc. "TAF encourages these everyday athletes to aspire, achieve and excel and is proud to be working with pros who may serve as inspiration to them. These outstanding professionals were selected to participate in the program because of their sporting achievements and their prominence in local communities served by our nationwide network of TAF stores," added Mr. D'Loren.

Specific dates for appearances vary by market, but the appearances will take place throughout the month of October and in early November. The "In My Shoes" contest which runs through Saturday, September 15th, invites students to share their performance goals for the new school year via written entry forms available online or in-stores, or by creating videos to share on YouTube. Entries, which must begin with the phrase "In my shoes," will be judged on how well they express a concrete, realistic, measurable, age-appropriate and performance-oriented goal. Winning entries will reinforce key messages of performance, achievement and athleticism.

Local winners, named at participating TAF stores, will receive a gift card ($75 value) to use toward a pair of shoes of their choice from their local TAF. Ten regional winners around the country will receive a free pair of shoes presented to them by the above-named professional athletes at a "meet and greet" at a local TAF store. One national winner will receive a one-on-one coaching session with a professional athlete to help them on the road to achieving their goal.
