WSA Adds Sole Commerce to Vegas Show
The WSA shoe show announced it will include a Sole Commerce Pavilion during its
upcoming Feb. 7–9 show at The Venetian and Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las
Vegas. Sole Commerce, which is traditionally held in New York, and WSA are both owned
by New York–based ENK International Trade Events.
“The addition of the Sole Commerce Pavilion at WSA will enhance our retailers’ experience,
providing them with a glimpse of the best fashion footwear available in the marketplace,
making WSA truly a one-stop buying venue,” said David Kahan, president of ENK
Footwear, in a statement. The Las Vegas edition of Sole Commerce will be smaller than its
New York edition and feature brands such as Badgley Mischka, L.A.M.B., Pour La Victoire,
Steve Madden, Matiko, Dolce Vita and Jeffrey Campbell.
Sole Commerce will also take place in New York Feb. 20–22, running concurrently with
ENK’s Fashion Coterie trade show.—Erin Barajas
