K•Swiss was founded in 1966 by two Swiss 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.

Today, K-Swiss' premium sports heritage has expanded from performance tennis footwear, to include lifestyle and fitness footwear that stands up to the performance demands of world-class athletes and trendsetters alike.
