Since its beginnings, K-Swiss has been defined by an entrepreneurial spirit dating back to when two Swiss brothers moved to California to create a tennis footwear brand. Drawing on their skiing experience, they took inspiration from ski boots to design a leather tennis shoe that could provide real support to the player.
The brand’s first iconic shoe dates back to 1966, the K-Swiss Classic, a leather tennis shoe that quickly became a style statement both on and off the court. Now, 58 years later, K-Swiss is writing new chapters in its story in other fields, such as padel, infusing the same energy that has always defined it.
SpeedTrac Padel
The SpeedTrac Padel is the flagship shoe of the new K-Swiss collection, designed for the most competitive players: a high-performance, next-generation product engineered for speed and movement on the court thanks to quick energy return and a solid sense of stability. The new 180 PSC design provides midfoot support while maintaining a lightweight feel. A redesigned sole featuring Speed Traction technology allows for maximum speed on the court.
Tested and proven, this new sole model is designed to improve traction and grip performance, especially on harder surfaces, as well as on artificial grass or clay. Finally, the shoe’s snug fit ensures the foot is securely held in place.
