NewswireTODAY - /newswire/ - Miami, FL, United States, 2011/06/22 - Soletron is proud to welcome Tom Austin, the co-founder of AND1 to its advisory board -- an all-star group that includes Supebowl MVP Santonio Holmes - Soletron.com.

Austin previously helped launch and grow AND1, a global basketball clothing, footwear, and marketing brand that burst onto the scene with trash-talking T-shirts and that frequently outsold Fortune 500 companies in the basketball footwear category in top tier retail for a stretch of several years. AND1 began on the court's of UPENN, where Austin attended Wharton when he wasn't playing in pick-up games.

The company grew to several hundred million dollars in annual revenue in the 9 years he was there and was sold in 2005. He has been both an entrepreneur and mentor to startups for over 18 years. With his invaluable guidance, Soletron (soletron.com) will be able to further increase its leadership position in the e-sneaker and e-street wear industry on our way to owning an enduring reputation as the premier online destination for sneakerheads and street fashion leaders -- and the brands that cater to them -- around the world.

'Soletron is a social marketplace for premium and customized street-inspired products for the sneakerhead community.'
