Sneaker News K-Swiss is making a serious push to reclaim its streetwear crown. Born on the tennis court, the brand has been working to revive the energy of its peak ‘90s era, when its models became symbols of street style and staples in the rap scene. In July, the brand launched a new premium line called K-Swiss Racquet Club (KSRC), appointing Anwar Carrots — one of Los Angeles’ most influential creative voices from Fairfax’s streetwear rise — as creative director. Following an initial five-sneaker release in July, KSRC is back with its second five-pack.
KSRC merges K-Swiss’ heritage in tennis and California lifestyle with streetwear, art, skate, and hip-hop influences — a fusion Anwar has delivered with authenticity and flair. The result feels both fresh and true to the brand’s roots, the hallmarks of a well-executed sneaker release.
As with the debut collection, Drop 2 taps into today’s biggest footwear trends with fresh colorways across the same models. The KSRC Before The Classic, inspired by an unreleased 1960s prototype, leads the way with an ultra-thin gum sole, black velvet upper, metallic gold lace loops, and white leather stripes. The KSRC Classic 66 continues the brand’s lineage in a sleek all-grey finish, while the KSRC Slamm Klub blends casual wearability with tennis heritage, arriving in white with timeless gold detailing. For fans of Y2K skate aesthetics, the KSRC Si-18 International C reemerges in all-black, its chunky proportions staying true to the era. Finally, the KSRC Konejo reimagines an archival 2000s runner with a flashy mix of grey and metallic silver.
KSRC Drop 2 is available now via the K-Swiss website, priced between $110–$140 USD. Scroll through the full lookbook below before heading over to secure your favorites.
