R.G. Barry Corp. has been appointed as sole distributor and licensee of Superga footwear in the USA under a contract that will be extended to Canada from 2008. The present contract, which runs from this month to December 2010, calls for minimum royalties of $1.6 million on revenues of $17.6 million over the period, and is subject to renewal. The Italian brand’s previous licensee for the U.S. market was Candean, but it did not perform satisfactorily. As previously reported, BasicNet, which previously licensed Superga, bought the rights to the brand at the beginning of this year.
