History
Trafton Cole and Eddie Haan founded the company in Chicago in 1928. Originally a men's footwear label, it expanded into women's products and accessories. In 1988, Nike acquired the brand, integrating proprietary cushioning technologies into traditional leather shoes. This acquisition established the brand's role in pioneering the hybrid footwear category. Following its sale to Apax Partners in 2013, the company transitioned into an independent global lifestyle brand.
