K-Swiss was established in 1966 when two Swiss brothers moved to California to create shoes that were focused on tennis. The ambitious skiers and tennis players were inspired by leather ski boots to create a shoe that supported the aggressive movements of tennis.

The K-Swiss Classic was the first completely leather tennis shoe and was worn by the best tennis players in the world. This shoe was partly responsible for winning many great championships. The K-Swiss Classic soon became world famous and became a symbol for style both of as on the court. More than 50 years later K-Swiss’ mission is to provide the new generation of entrepreneurs with style and inspiration. These young leaders are part of a culture that influences and inspires the youth across the whole world.
