K-Swiss appointed Dave Grange as international K-Swiss brand president and Americas general manager. Grange, who was most recently VP of sales at K-Swiss, replaces Barney Waters, who had been the brand’s president since 2016.

K-Swiss is owned by China-based Xtep International Holdings Ltd.

Grange joined K-Swiss in October 2020. His previous roles include VP of footwear at Lacoste and VP of North America for Keds.

“I feel very privileged to take the leadership position with such an iconic and important heritage brand. We are currently the No. 1 tennis footwear brand in specialty retail and are enjoying tremendous growth within our lifestyle division. We are in a strong position to continue our positive trajectory and build our legacy further,” Grange said.
