The Timberland Company acquired substantially all of the assets of IPATH, LLC through a new wholly-owned subsidiary, IPATH Footwear Inc. IPATH designs, develops and markets skateboarding-inspired casual footwear, apparel and accessories. The IPATH brand mantra is “Follow Your Path” and the brand represents a melting pot of youth lifestyles, drawing strong influences from music, art and culture. The IPATH business will continue to be led by its founders Brian Krauss and Matt Field with the current management team based in Torrance, California.
Jeffrey B. Swartz, Timberland's president and CEO, stated, “We are very excited to welcome IPATH into our business enterprise. Our commitment to Authentic Youth consumers globally is real. IPATH brings a unique and authentic brand, business and consumer relationship, rooted in a distinctive persona that extends far beyond skateboarding. We believe that a combination of highest quality product, a commitment to environmental sustainability, and a unique consumer “voice” make IPATH a powerful source of new growth and excitement within our brand and business portfolio.”
