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.
