History of the Racquet Club
In the September 1960 issue of the Palm Springs Life Magazine, the Racquet Club in Palm Springs, California, which two Hollywood actors founded in the early 20th century, was featured. It was said in the magazine that it “was the place to be seen in the sixties and the hottest spot for celebrity set.” Many tennis star players showed off their skills at the Racquet Club, but the A-List celebrities are the ones who drive the club.
For the Track spikes and XC sneaker, it was the mid-century contemporary refinement of the Palm Springs Racquet Club that inspired the design of the shoe. Flaunting a minimalistic look with its sophisticated one-piece circular vamp with an unembellished edged suede, and a complementary off-white ribbed calendar outsole to finish the whole look.
The Racquet Club is among the SeaVees sneakers that are available in various colorway choices that provide buyers with a variety of options in picking a pair of their choice.
