Liz n' Enyce

New York–based Liz Claiborne Inc. announced plans to purchase Enyce and Lady Enyce from Sport Brands International (SBI) for about $114 million. The deal brings a $95 million urban brand under the ever-expanding Liz Claiborne umbrella and gives the New York manufacturing giant a greater presence in both the urban market and the men’s market. Enyce was founded in 1996 by Evan Davis, Lando Felix and Tony Shellman, with financial support from active footwear and apparel brand Fila. SBI purchased Fila and Enyce earlier this year.
