Respect Your Universe places first order for spring debut line-up

Respect Your Universe (OTC:RYUN), a martial arts apparel retailer, said on Monday it has placed their first product order for the spring 2012 line-up.
To be available at U.S. retailers and online early in 2012, over 400 SKU's of performance and sportswear items were purchased in the first order.
The spring 2012 line-up includes compression tops, training and competition shorts, jackets and pants.
"In creating the RYU line of apparel and equipment, we made a conscious decision to use organic and/or recycled materials in all of our products utilizing some of the best yarn and fabric suppliers in the world," said COO, Erick Siffert.
"It is very inspiring to be able to achieve the performance attributes we wanted in the raw material, the finish and garment construction, and still be organic and/or recycled."
President John Wood, added: "There is already a buzz and hype going around about what RYU has to offer mixed martial arts athletes and fans, and we look forward to delivering the highest quality performance and sportswear items designed to maximize performance, fit and comfort."
Separately, last week, the company officially launched its web store, with select t-shirts and headwear items now available for purchase.
As a pre-launch to the spring 2012 high performance debut line, the limited edition of items will be available for a short period of time on the web. With the launch, the company said this is the first time it will generate revenue, and expects online sales to exceed expectations.
"In our initial product seeding of items that are now available online and eventually at retailers next spring, we have an outstanding immediate consumer reaction," said CEO, Christopher Maartens.
Respect Your Universe, founded in December 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada, designs and develops apparel and equipment geared toward the mixed martial arts and athletics demographic.
