FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 26, 2008 -- Start-up footwear company AQx Sports, develops innovative footwear for athletes to cross train and rehab in the water. The pool provides a soothing environment for any athlete but also adds unique resistance in every plane of motion. The AQx Shoes add 20-30% more resistance to your leg movements when running in the water.

Derek Grundy, a sports marketing consultant, an MBA Graduate from Endicott College in Beverly, MA, and now the VP of Business Development at AQx Sports in Beaverton, Oregon has been a marketing genius when it comes to getting shoes on professional athletes. He has worked with the likes of Greg Oden during his rehab, has tracked down Yao Ming and has him training in their shoes, and even has running legends Jim Ryun and Bill Rodgers training in the pool with the AQx products.

Grundy will continue to market the shoes to a high-end, high-credibility athlete in order to attract mass appeal and reach the consumer market on an emotional level.
