News: Looks like the brand is kind of back again?
“Simple was purchased by a large footwear company and closed its doors in 2010. The brand laid dormant until a passionate group of footwear people, including early Simple designers, brought it back to life in October of 2014. We are busy working to bring back product from the past and to build relevant product for the future while, as always, keeping it Simple.
