“The launch of Spyder footwear in partnership with Footwear Unlimited expands the brand’s year-round essentials for active consumers and presents an opportunity to gain a larger market-share,” said Wesley Chu, Senior Vice President, Sports, Street and Active at ABG. “This new line draws inspiration from Spyder’s core offerings, which are rooted in snow sports and introduces styles for hiking, training and every day.”
