The K-Swiss Brand
Founded in 1966, K-Swiss is a tennis-focused footwear brand. Two Swiss brothers, both passionate about tennis and skiing, moved to California to create the company. Inspired by leather ski boots, they designed a court sneaker that supported lateral movement on the tennis court.
The K-Swiss Classic, the first all-leather tennis shoe, soon became an iconic style both on and off the court. In 1986, the Gstaad model achieved similar popularity upon its release.
Over 50 years later, K-Swiss remains a key player in tennis culture, staying true to its origins while expanding its line with models like the Classic LX and High-top.
