NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, September 15, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Marquee Brands, the premier global brand management company, today announced an agreement with Summit and Harbor for Dakine footwear, a key category for the fast-growing active and outdoor brand. The partnership expands Dakine’s product offering with a focus on mountain biking and outdoor adventure, launching at specialty bike, skate, surf and outdoor retailers across the United States, Canada and Mexico beginning in Spring 2027.

“Dakine has spent decades building technical product around the needs of athletes and outdoor enthusiasts,” said Ivy Spargo, EVP of Fashion, Lifestyle & Active Brands at Marquee Brands. “Footwear represents a meaningful growth opportunity for the brand, building on that established product expertise while broadening Dakine’s offering. Summit and Harbor brings deep experience in footwear design and development, allowing us to expand Dakine’s offering with the same focus on performance, durability and functionality that has long defined the brand.”

As Dakine’s footwear partner, Summit and Harbor will oversee the design and development of the category across technical performance and lifestyle styles.

The Spring 2027 collection will debut with seven styles spanning mountain bike, skate, surf-inspired lifestyle and outdoor footwear, led by a technical mountain bike assortment. The collection features proprietary tooling and original outsole designs.

“Dakine’s footwear builds on decades of history in action sports and a longstanding connection to the riders this collection is designed for,” said Jarka Duba, Co-Founder and CEO of Summit and Harbor. “We approached the category from the ground up, combining footwear expertise, technical innovation and Dakine’s distinct point of view to create products that can earn a place in a rider’s kit.”
