United Legwear & Apparel Co. (ULAC), a New York-based global designer, manufacturer and distributor of legwear, apparel and accessories, has announced an expansion of its 20-year licensing partnership with global lifestyle and performance footwear and apparel brand, Skechers, to include distribution in the European Union and the U.K.

The license will be managed in these two added territories through ULAC’s newly formed subsidiaries in the EU and U.K.: United Legwear & Apparel Europe BV and United Legwear & Apparel U.K., respectively.

Skechers will leverage ULAC’s sales and distribution strengths in these territories to increase its market footprint.  

“ULAC has had a successful partnership with Skechers for two decades in North America,” says Isaac Ash, chief executive officer and president, ULAC. “With the establishment of ULAC Europe B.V. in 2023, it’s a strategic time for Skechers to tap into our capabilities and increase their legwear presence in retailers across these countries.”

“Customers’ enthusiastic response to our offering of Skechers-branded socks has paved the way for additional expansion opportunities, including in Europe,” says Michael Greenberg, president, Skechers. “With a long history together, United Legwear understands the Skechers brand, our need for quality and style and our consumers. Together, we can bring more comfort to the people of Europe.”

Skechers will now have dedicated showroom space at ULAC Europe B.V.’s headquarters in Amsterdam and the London showroom. Buyers from key retailers can easily view the legwear collections for men, women and kids in the newly built spaces.
