The line is to reach sporting goods retailers, mid-tier department stores and specialty footwear retailers across the USA. It will include both on-court performance shoes and off-court athletic fashion shoes in both adult and kids sizes. The Magic32 athletic and fashion apparel line will launch next autumn.
