For many of us, The K-Swiss Classic was the go to sneaker in middle school and high school but did you know that it was K-Swiss's only sneaker model for over two decades!? The origins of this sneaker start with in the 1960s' two Swiss immigrants moving to Los Angeles to fulfill their dream of starting a tennis shoe company. In this video, we'll cover the history of K-Swiss and answer the question everybody has been subconsciously asking themselves, what happened to K-Swiss??

I just recently found you channel and have been watching all your videos. While not a sneaker head myself I find all these videos super interesting. I’ll always remember saving up my allowance for a whole year to get my first pair of k-Swiss in 7th grade to fit in with all the other cool kids in my middle school. However I couldn’t afford the pairs everyone else was rocking and ended up getting some clearance model that didn’t have the same silhouette but it didn’t matter that much to me. I felt like a million bucks wearing those bright white shoes to school every day. Damn. Thanks for the nostalgic trip you guys. Love the channel.

Teachers at my high school would help buy shoes for students who couldn't afford new ones and we went to a shoe store and I picked out a pink pair of these because my sister used to have a few pairs of them and thought they looked nice and were well, pink. The only shoes I've ever had that never fell apart, chip crease or lost it's shape and I wore and washed them CONSTANTLY. I don't know what happened to them but I miss them.

Or "is that a premium brand sneaker" and I really loved it, it's design was unique and it gave the same comfort and feel as compare to the Nike sneakers I have at the time so yeah thank you for making a video for this brand, I hope many more people will watch your videos because it is very educational.

I am still rocking a pair of white classics in the high version and a pair of bowl-o-rama which are basically bowling shoes look-a-like.

If you go to a low key sneaker retailer or a local mom and pop shoe store you can still find K- Swiss just ask around I remembered the commercials in the early 2000s from what I recall seeing on TV 📺.

K-Swiss classic was popular to the medical field as well as medical college. It goes well with the white nurse uniform or doctors jacket.

In my MiddleSchool in Norcal late 90's , people wore the K-Swiss classic with "Preppy" stuff like Abercrombie/Gap/OldNavy. They also had another model I cant recall that was more trail style, also White on White

K-Swiss Classics were an indestructible shoe - lasted forever. Clean looks, quality materials and craftmanship. As a student, you could buy a pair as a freshman and graduate with them after 4 years of daily wear and abuse. I like the Si-18's. Had a pair in the 90's and got another pair about 5 years ago for nostalgia. The PU midsole makes the shoe heavy, but it has a real nice ride. When you break them in they fit like a glove.
