K-Swiss Trainers

Founded in 1966, K-Swiss was the brainchild of brothers Art and Ernie Brunner, who combined their interest in fashion and love for tennis to create the iconic K-Swiss Trainer. The innovative and high quality design of K-Swiss Trainers were immediately popular and the label became one of the biggest sports brands in the world. Stylight offers a wide selection of K-Swiss Trainers from the classic white model, to brightly colored contemporary styles.

From the Court to the Streets

Founded in 1966 by Art and Ernie Brunner, two Swiss brothers who moved to California to pursue the dream of starting their own company, K-Swiss footwear has developed from manufacturing specialised tennis shoes to creating styles that have become iconic in the streetwear world.

K-Swiss Sneakers

Although the brand still produces specialised tennis shoes that remain innovative and popular, it is perhaps best known for making waves in the sneaker world with its Tongue Twister and Stripe Shifter ranges. The five-stripe design featured on both of these styles remains a trademark of K-Swiss footwear.

K-Swiss Trivia

Here are some cool and interesting facts about the history of the K-Swiss sneaker.

  • Art and Ernie were both avid skiers and recognised the common need in skiing and tennis for a snug shoe that supports aggressive, side-to-side movements.
  • K-Swiss are credited with creating the first all-leather tennis shoe.
  • The Tongue Twister and Stripe Shifter styles were both significant steps forward in sneaker design, as the reversible tongue on the Tongue Twisters and adjustable stripes on the side of the Stripe Shifters allowed consumers to redesign their own sneakers whenever they desired.
