Founded in California in 1966, K-Swiss has been driven by an entrepreneurial spirit. When two Swiss brothers moved to California to create a footwear brand focused on tennis, the avid skiers took inspiration from leather ski boots to create a supportive, leather tennis shoe. Introduced in 1966, the K-Swiss Classic was the world’s first all-leather tennis shoe.

Almost 60 years later, K-Swiss is building from its heritage as an American tennis brand and writing new chapters in our storied history. Paying homage to the hard work of our founders and the competitive nature of the game, K-Swiss is dedicated to outfitting and inspiring the next generation of tennis players and injecting that same inspiration and energy into our products.
