K-Swiss was founded in 1966 by two brothers who moved to California to pursue their dream of starting their own footwear company. As avid skiers, they drew inspiration from leather ski boots to create the first all-leather tennis shoe. Then K-Swiss classic was born, and it remains one of the most iconic and classic sneakers of all-time. Today, K-Swiss premium sports heritage has expanded from performance footwear to include lifestyle and fitness footwear that stands up to the performance demands of world-class athletes and trendsetters alike.
