The Performance + Lifestyle Group of Collective Brands has several new distribution agreements that will help it expand its Sperry Top-Sider, Saucony, Keds and Stride Rite brands worldwide. ABC-Mart of Tokyo will reintroduce Saucony and Sperry Top-Sider in Japan through its own stores as well as fashion retailers (for Sperry) and running stores (for Saucony). Saucony will hit store shelves next month, and Sperry Top-Sider will be available in early 2012. RSH Limited of Singapore will handle Sperry, Keds and Saucony in that country as well as Malaysia, starting early next year through wholesale and its own stores. Keds will return to Spain in early 2012 through a deal with Sefonia Yourself of Barcelona, which already distributes Sperry Top-Sider.
