Cole Haan
Cole Haan is a luxury footwear brand that used to be owned by Nike. In 2018, USA Today called it at risk. The company started to rebrand by choosing to focus more on athletic sneakers over dress shoes. Sadly, the plan backfired. In 2013, Apax Partners bought this brand. This meant that the footwear retailer no longer bears the famous comfort technology it enjoyed under Nike. Things have yet to improve.
