K-Swiss was founded in 1966 in Los Angeles by Swiss brothers Art and Ernie Brunner. They became interested in tennis after emigrating to the United States. Bitten by the tennis bug they searched everywhere for a pair of stylish, durable and comfortable shoes to play in. Unable to find what they were looking for they soon realised there was an opportunity in the market and set out to create their own tennis specific footwear. The name K-Swiss was inspired by the local kids and their European homeland – The ‘K’ in their name came from the word Kalifornia which was used as a slang name for California in the 1960’s. This was simply added to the brother’s nationality – Swiss ! . The Brunner’s proceeded to import leather tennis shoes from the Swiss shoe manufacturer Kuenzli.
Their creation, the K-Swiss Classic was the world’s first all-leather tennis shoe. Their design inspiration came from the three-piece upper of a 1960’s ski boot, five side bindings and a five D-ring shoelace system. These three features made a boot perform better for the crucial lateral movement of skiing. With tennis players needing exactly the same aggressive side-to-side movement support from their footwear, K-Swiss quickly became a staple on tennis courts across the US and beyond. It quickly gained worldwide acclaim and became a style statement both on and off the court, worn casually in country clubs and just as fashionably on city streets.
More than 50 years later, K-Swiss footwear design principals have always remained true to their heritage – making premium tennis shoes for on-court performance and off-court style. Currently the brand is owned by Chinese sports equipment manufacturing company Xtep.
