It gained prominence during the 1980s by providing affordable, trend-driven footwear to a broad consumer base. The brand played a significant role in the democratization of fashion, bridging the gap between high-end luxury and mass-market retail. In 2018, the company underwent restructuring and was acquired by Authentic Brands Group.
