Cole Haan
This luxury footwear retailer was named to USA Today’s list of at-risk companies in 2018. Cole Haan began to shake things up by focusing less on dress shoes and more on athletic footwear. This did not turn out to be as successful as they had hoped. In 2013, Apax Partners bought it out, and Nike comfort technology was phased out. We regret to inform you that the brand’s fortunes have yet to improve.
