Cole Haan
Cole Haan, a luxury footwear company owned by Nike, entered USA Today’s most at-risk list of companies in 2018. Cole Haan tried to alter their image by relying more on sports shoes rather than dress shoes, however it all back-fired. When Apax Partners acquired the company in 2013 they agreed to do away with the popular comfort technology from Nike. They do not, however, seem to be improving at all.
