New Licenses (August 2008)

K-SWISS: Spring ’09
K-SWISS, best known for its leadership in performance tennis and lifestyle footwear, has expanded its licensing categories to include high-tech socks. The new performance line targeted for serious athletes in tennis, running and cross-training rolls out Spring ’09.

Mountain High Knitwear’s K-Swiss collection will offer three distinct lines: lifestyle, “UltraCel Sport” and “UltraCel Perform.” UltraCel Sport incorporates moisture management while UltraCel Perform uses the anti-microbial mineral Magic Silver that keeps feet smelling fresh.

Since 1966, K-SWISS has represented innovation, quality, performance and style. Its signature K-SWISS "CLASSIC," the first leather tennis shoe, made its debut at Wimbledon in 1966, and more than 40 years later, is still a style staple both on and off the court. K-Swiss sponsors a host of top athletes including tennis players Tommy Haas, Mardy Fish, Vera Zonareva, Alona Bondarenko, and Anna Kournikova and triathletes Leanda Cave, Luke McKenzie, and Chris Lieto.
