Khombu footwear, the official après footwear provider to the United States Ski and Snowboard teams, has become a year-round brand. To accomplish their task, Khombu is shifting its headquarters from Avon, MA to Canton, MA just a few miles away.
The move will allow Khombu to focus on expanding their sales team for both children and adult footwear and to promote the childrens line as distinct entity. Khombu hopes this could expand their reach in the children’s footwear market.
“It was important for us to develop a specialized sales team for Khombu childrens footwear,” said Director of Khombu, Matt Itzkowitz. “It is a distinct and innovative line and our goal is to give it the resources to develop and grow on its own.”
The 2010 collection will feature a wide spectrum of styles ranging from fashionable and warm rain boots to snow boots. The 2010 line combines the most current trends in footwear with proven technology such as waterproofing, cold weather ratings up to -40 degrees, lightweight shell, extra traction for stability, Thermolite insulation and footbed built for comfort and warmth without bulk.
“I am excited to say that because of Khombus success we are expanding into new offices and adding to our staff and product line,” said Itzkowitz. “We look forward to what the future will bring as a year round brand.”
Currently Khombu is sold at a variety of stores ranging from core ski shops to high end department stores such as Bloomingdaless and Macys.
