K-Swiss to release 'performance' sneakers for video gaming
K-Swiss is venturing into the world of esports by launching a line of sneakers specifically designed to be worn while playing video games.
The athletic shoe brand just collaborated with esports organization Immortals on a $110 sneaker and is set to release a "performance" version called the "Grandmaster" next year, according to Christopher Palmeri of Bloomberg. The "Grandmaster" will give gamers "the ability to quickly kick the shoes off hands-free," Palmeri reports.
