K-Swiss Inc. · Westlake Village, CA United States ·(NASDAQ (GS): KSWS)

K-Swiss refuses to remain neutral in the sports shoe wars. K-Swiss sells athletic, training, and children's shoes; apparel; and accessories. Shoppers keep coming back to the K-Swiss Classic, the white, all-weather, leather tennis shoe that was introduced in 1966 by its founders. Apparel from K-Swiss is aimed at upscale buyers of athletic gear and suburban casualwear. K-Swiss products, marketed under its namesake and Royal Elastics brands, are made by independent suppliers -- almost entirely in China -- and are sold in department and specialty retail stores, primarily in the US. Chairman, president, and CEO Steven Nichols owns about 93% of the company's voting shares. To read the full description, subscribe now.
