Corridor's founder Dan Snyder is an avid tennis player and wanted to create a playable performance shoe alongside a sustainable, recycled heritage shoe. The menswear brand initially expressed interest in working with Racquet, and was intrigued by what they represent to the tennis community.

"As an independent media company dedicated to making the tennis space more welcoming, we are so appreciative to work with Corridor—our fellow Brooklyn-based tastemakers—as they collaborate with the stalwart athletics brand K-Swiss," says Caitlin Thompson, Co-Founder of Racquet magazine. The collaboration will have a full creative campaign featured in an upcoming issue of the magazine.

The collaboration products will be available exclusively on KSwiss.com, Corridornyc.com, Corridor retail stores, and select retailers globally. For more information, please visit KSwiss.com, Corridornyc.com, and Racquetmag.com.

ABOUT K-SWISS
From the beginning, K-Swiss was driven by an entrepreneurial spirit when two Swiss brothers moved to California to create a footwear brand focused on tennis. As avid skiers, the brothers took inspiration from leather ski boots to create a supportive, leather tennis shoe. Introduced in 1966, the K-Swiss Classic was the world's first all-leather tennis shoe. It quickly gained worldwide acclaim and became a style statement both on and off the court, worn casually in country clubs and just as fashionably on city streets. Now, 57 years later, K-Swiss is building from its heritage as an American tennis brand and writing new chapters in its storied history. Paying homage to the hard work of our founders and the competitive nature of the game that inspired it all, K-Swiss is dedicated to outfitting and inspiring the next generation of tennis players.

ABOUT RACQUET
Racquet is a new quarterly magazine that celebrates the art, ideas, style and culture that surround tennis.
