K-Swiss was founded in 1966 by two Swiss brothers, who ventured to sunny southern California, where they introduced one of the first all leather tennis shoes. The K-Swiss “Classic,” has visual elements such as the famous 5 stripes, D-Ring lacing system, three-piece toe design and the one-piece rubber outsole. Our heritage is our inspiration as we combine over 50 years of authenticity with modern techniques, premium materials, and design. Look Back. Live Forward.
