Fila: the chapter 11, the buyout, but is it altogether gone?

Brian Purdie · 06-14-2004, 10:22 AM

In 2001 the company went bankrupt, then it was bought from someone. A huge number of the US stores, if not all of them, closed over last year. More recently, a friend from Europe wrote me that: "I rarely saw Fila (they didn't even have a booth at Roland Garros)."

Is the company planning on shutting down in the near future?

I guess the test will be to see if they endorse the US Open like they did last year...

I certainly hope not, I think they have some great product and I just sent back a warranty shoe for replacement and got a new pair in about two weeks
