K-Swiss was founded by two Swiss brothers in California and launched the Classic tennis shoe in 1966. The Classic's original leather construction, one-piece rubber outsole and five-stripe design influence the brand today. K-Swiss offers kids' and adult sizes and some wide options on selected models. For up-to-date sizing, shipping, payment and customer service details, consult the official website.

A short history

K-Swiss began when two Swiss brothers who moved to California turned their tennis obsession into a business. In 1966 they released the K-Swiss Classic: a leather tennis shoe with a one-piece rubber outsole, a reinforced toe, five-stripe side banding and a distinctive D-ring lacing system. That original clean, athletic look helped the Classic become a lifestyle staple as well as on-court footwear.

The Classic and design DNA

The K-Swiss Classic remains the most recognizable model in the brand's lineup. Its low profile, leather upper and five-stripe motif echo the original 1966 design, though modern versions often include updated materials and cushioning for today's wearers. The Classic crosses the line between sports shoe and casual everyday sneaker.

Sizes and fit

K-Swiss has historically offered children's and adult sizes and selected wide options in some Classic and tennis models. Men's and women's ranges have typically included extended sizes, and the brand has used width designations (for example, a wider fit marked as W on some product pages). Availability varies by model and region, so check the product page for exact size and width offerings.

Where to buy and support

K-Swiss shoes are sold through the brand's website and many retail partners worldwide. For current stock, size availability and authorized retailers, go to the official K-Swiss site or reputable shoe retailers. Customer service contact numbers, hours and policies have changed over time; check the brand's website for the latest contact info and support hours.

K-Swiss ships internationally through major carriers in many markets, and it accepts common online payment methods on its store.
