“It’s amazing to be partnering with an iconic brand like K-Swiss that embodies the West Coast style and culture that I grew up with,” said Baller. “As a self-made CEO, it’s important to inspire the next wave of entrepreneurs to look, feel and dress in a way that reflects their creativity and personal journey — that’s what We Are the West is all about.”

The campaign also features the owner of Boss Babe, Natalie Ellis, and owner of Mister Green, Ariel Stark-Benz. K-Swiss will host a series of events at Foot Locker and Footaction stores with the four CEOs participating in panel discussion in select markets around the U.S.

The marketing efforts coincide with the relaunch of K-Swiss in Footlocker stores.
