RYZ is a footwear company based in Portland, Oregon. RYZ launched in June 2008[1]. The company was founded by Rob Langstaff, former president of Adidas America[2], and other former mainstream footwear company employees. Originally founded under a pure crowdsourcing model, RYZ is currently focused on a unique line of men's footwear that is both casual and dress, while incorporating design elements that are true to its heritage.
