K-Swiss is celebrating its 60th anniversary with a special K-Swiss Racquet Club collection curated by Anwar Carrots, continuing the creative relationship that has helped bring new energy to the brand’s premium lifestyle direction.

The KSRC 60th Anniversary collection brings together five silhouettes that touch different parts of the brand’s story. The pack includes heritage models, lifestyle-driven updates, and, for the first time in an Anwar-directed KSRC collection, a true performance tennis shoe. This is important because K-Swiss has never been a lifestyle brand borrowing from tennis culture—tennis is the foundation the company was built on.

The collection arrives in K-Swiss’ recognizable “Corporate” color palette, built around red, white, and blue. The colors pull from the brand’s shield logo, with red representing the heart of sport and blue connecting back to the California lifestyle that has shaped K-Swiss since its founding in 1966. Each pair also receives anniversary-focused details, including a red and gold sock liner, a commemorative gold charm, and premium gold packaging.

The lineup starts with the KSRC Before the Classic, an archival model that predates the Classic 66. It returns in Dazzling Blue, Snow White, and Gum, giving newer consumers a look at what came before one of the brand’s most important tennis shoes. The KSRC Classic 66 is also included, arriving in Wimbledon White, Mars Red, Dazzling Blue, and Gum. As the original K-Swiss tennis shoe, its presence in this pack is a no-brainer.

K-Swiss also brings back the KSRC GSTAAD, a heritage style originally introduced in 1986, dressed in White, Mars Red, and Dazzling Blue. The KSRC Konejo adds a more modern layer to the collection, reworking an early 2000s running-inspired silhouette in Wimbledon White, Metallic Silver, and Dazzling Blue. Rounding out the pack is the KSRC Hypercourt Express 3, an award-winning performance tennis shoe presented in White, Mars Red, Dazzling Blue, and Metallic accents.

Since launching KSRC, Anwar Carrots has helped K-Swiss connect its tennis history with fashion, art, music, and street culture in a way that feels natural to the brand. The 60th Anniversary Pack does not try to reinvent K-Swiss’ legacy. Instead, it serves as a reminder that the foundation has been there all along.

Anwar Carrots explains the intention behind the collection to Modern Notoriety:

“For the second season of K-Swiss with Anwar Carrots, I wanted to keep things honest and uncomplicated. Initially, I considered naming the collection after the founders’ last names as a quiet nod to the brand’s history and 60-year legacy, but ultimately decided to keep the storytelling more surface-level and digestible — something that longtime supporters and new consumers could immediately connect with.

The collection leans into the core pantones and visual language that have defined K-Swiss since its inception. Clean whites, timeless sport references, and understated color blocking were important because they represent familiarity, consistency, and heritage. Rather than reinventing the identity, the intention was to refine it.

At the center of it all is ‘the program’ — discipline, routine, and staying committed to what works. For me, that means continuing to make great white tennis shoes and not losing sight of the foundation that made the brand iconic in the first place. Sometimes the strongest statement is keeping things simple and executing them well.”
