K-Swiss Classic Vn Black/White Women

K-Swiss was founded in 1966 when two Swiss brothers, Art and Ernie Brunner, moved to California to start a tennis-focused footwear brand. Avid skiers and tennis players, the brothers took inspiration from leather ski boots to create a court shoe that supports the intense lateral movements of tennis. The result was the K-Swiss Classic, the first all-leather tennis shoe manufactured in Los Angeles, California. More than 50 years later, innovation remains our company's most recognized and best-selling style, and has achieved iconic status in the athletic footwear industry. The Classic VN is the 4th generation of the original shoe. It retains the trademark elements from the first design: 5-stripes, D-ring lacing system, 3-piece toe construction and herringbone brick outsole tread, and also offers a heel tab for a hint of color and our modern logo represent the modern and progressive values of today's brand. The Up-spec version of the VN modernizes our classic shoe with better materials, increased comfort and increased sustainability. Higher-quality full-grain leather is used on the upper. The shoe's sustainability has been enhanced with the addition of recycled PET lining and laces, internal components made from recycled ocean plastic, and more environmentally friendly foam in the insole and internal midsole. Born from innovation, the Classic has evolved into a statement of timeless minimalist design, an expression of our passion for quality and craftsmanship, and an enduring symbol of our true tennis heritage.
