If you’ve never worn a K-Swiss shoe, you owe it to yourself to pick up a pair. With a heritage going back to 1966 and their creation of the first all-leather tennis shoe, K-Swiss are one of the oldest and most respected footwear brands around.

Meticulously crafted from premium materials, their modern designs make playing tennis a pleasure, putting a smile on your face every time you step on the court. But which is the right shoe for you? Here we highlight some popular choices to suit your budget, level, and style of play.

Hypercourt Express 2

An award-winning shoe that remains one of the brand’s bestsellers, the Hypercourt Express offers a mix of support, stability, cushioning, and grip in a comfortable, lightweight design. That blend of attributes makes it perfect for players who enjoy mixing up their game in terms of movement and shot selection – if you like to do a bit of everything, go for the Hypercourt Express 2. Its generous fit makes it ideal for those with wider feet, too. No wonder it’s so popular.

Hypercourt Supreme 2

The new flagship shoe of the Hyper family, the Hypercourt Supreme serves up the winning combo of comfort and performance the series is known for in a more modern, streamlined design. With a bootie construction at the ankle and a wavelike, dual-density midsole underfoot, it’s all about effective movement, propelling you forwards to chase down balls while ensuring you’re always supported and in control. The second gen’s even more supportive and ups the durability of the shoe. Bonus.

Court Express

Looking for a solid, no-nonsense tennis shoe with a wallet-friendly price tag? That’s the Court Express. Following the same good-at-everything ethos as the Hypercourt Express, it’s made from hardwearing materials with soft cushioning inside and underfoot for a comfortable experience on the court. We’re big fans of its clean, straightforward aesthetic – there aren’t many better-looking shoes at any budget.

Ultrashot 3

Extremely durable and packed with tech, the Ultrashot’s built to cope with the demands of the highest level of play. You’ll see this shoe on the feet of pros as they race around the court at ATP and WTA tournaments, pushing their bodies to the limit with aggressive, powerful moves. Its energy-returning midsole and chassis support underfoot are the key components, absorbing impact forces and offering stability for quick changes of direction.

Ultrashot Team

Lighter and more flexible than the Ultrashot 3, the Ultrashot Team is designed for club players who want a speedy, comfortable shoe and don’t require quite the same rugged durability as the pros. As you’d expect from the stability-focused Ultra range, there’s still plenty of support here, with the mesh cage on the upper adapting to your foot as you move and an overlay at the tongue helping to maintain a secure fit.

Defier RS

A K-Swiss classic, the Defier has been a mainstay of courts around the world for decades. Its layered leather design is particularly good for players who prefer a more supportive feel around the ankle, helping to prevent rolling for stable footwork. It’s very wear-resistant too, with extensive DragGuard reinforcement prolonging the life of the shoe. We know players who have stuck with the Defier throughout their years playing tennis. If you like the look of it, chances are you’ll love wearing it.

FAQs
What does HB mean in K-Swiss tennis shoes?
HB stands for herringbone, which is the name of the tread pattern seen on K-Swiss models labelled as such. Herringbone tread is particularly beneficial on clay courts, with the zig-zag channels encouraging excess clay to funnel away from the sole of the shoe, helping to maintain grip.

Is K-Swiss a good tennis shoe brand?
Yes, very good. Well, we think so, and so do thousands of happy players. These days, you might know them for their casual fashion shoes, but they’re a tennis brand through and through. They created the first all-leather tennis shoe all the way back in 1966 and their designs have been worn by some of the world’s top pro players over the years. Britain’s Cam Norrie wears the Ultrashot.

Which country are K-Swiss shoes from?
K-Swiss is an American brand, founded in California in 1966 by Swiss immigrant brothers Art and Ernie Brunner. So, technically the USA, but with some distinctly Alpine inspiration.
