Anwar Carrots Named Creative Director of K-Swiss Racquet Club
are officially back on the cultural radar, appointing multi-hyphenate as Creative Director of their newly minted K-Swiss Racquet Club (KSRC) division. Known for his distinctive blend of streetwear influence and storytelling, Carrots is tasked with reimagining K-Swiss’s rich tennis heritage through a modern lens.
For Carrots, this new role with K-Swiss is personal. ‘I’m not just collaborating – I’m contributing to the rebirth of a legacy,’ he says. ‘It’s always part of my vision to align with heritage brands that have real roots. My role now is about bringing heritage, culture, and clean white tennis shoes straight from my creative garden. I had to take it back – I placed my mind in 1998, back to being eight years old in Orlando, Florida. My dad used to rock K-Swiss heavy, and the way he’d coordinate his outfits with a fresh white pair was always clean to me. That memory is what shaped this collection.’
Anwar Carrots, born in Trenton, New Jersey, has become a key voice within streetwear over the past decade. He first gained attention in 2007 as co-founder of Peas & Carrots International, a creative collective that quickly earned cult status. In 2015, he launched his namesake label – Carrots by Anwar Carrots – which is known for its vibrant colour palettes, bold graphics, and cultural storytelling. Over the years, Carrots has partnered with major brands including and Walmart, bringing his playful yet thoughtful aesthetic to a global audience.
