New York, NY (November 1, 2006) – Lugz has always been known for it’s boots and shoes. Now the question is , “What does a Lugz Chopper look like?” Orange County Choppers will begin to reveal that on Monday, November 6th, on Discovery Channels “American Chopper”. The talents of OCC will be on display in the first of two episodes highlighting the building of a Lugz bike.

Lugz has been a key player in the men’s footwear market for the past 13 years. “We make tough boots, quality shoes and athletic footwear” said Larry Schwartz, Executive VP of Lugz. “We have been working with Orange County Choppers this past year and having them design and build a Lugz Bike has been a really fun experience”.

Orange County Choppers made a visit to Lugz headquarters in New York City to work with their shoe designers, keying in on attributes of Lugz shoes that could be incorporated into the design of the bike. OCC then went to work designing and building the bike which was revealed to the owners of Lugz and their retailers in Las Vegas while they were attending a major trade show.

The show will air in two parts on November 6th and November 13th at 10:00 pm e.s.t., and Lugz is curious to finally see the behind the scenes moments of the Teutuls at work.

Lugz plans to put pictures of the Lugz Bike on their web site, lugz.com, on November 14th after the reveal of the bike on Discovery. Lugz also plans to put the bike on tour with key retailers across the country.

Lugz is also looking forward to their Holiday TV campaign starring OCC. Working together since May, the Teutels are helping to promote the Lugz line of Classic Boots, which they were already wearing so it was a natural fit. The national campaign kicks off on November 14th on Discovery, ESPN, Spike, FX, VH1, WWE on USA, Smackdown and South Park.
