We All Walk in Different Shoes


In an ad campaign with the title “We all walk in different shoes”, designer Kenneth Cole is turning heads by featuring people who live their lives in a non-conventional way, either by choice or circumstance.

“We’re putting the focus on others, like Kenneth, who have lived their lives outside the norm to show how important it is to give those that are different a voice,” says Kyle Andres, senior vice president of marketing.

Individuals featured in the videos include Aimee Mullins, paralympic athlete, actor and president of the Women’s Sports Foundation; Theo Kogan, singer, actor, entrepreneur and feminist; Sonny Caberwahl, practicing Sikh and entrepreneur; Dror Shaul and Hany Abu-Assad, Israeli and Palestinian film directors and friends; Delmon Dunston, quadriplegic rugby player; Channing Moss, a U.S. soldier wounded in Afghanistan; Joanna and Nicoletta Tessler, a gay married couple, with their daughter; Regan Hofmann, the HIV-positive editor-in-chief of Poz magazine; and Sonia, an undocumented immigrant and mother.
