GoLite Footwear Will Be Back

According to outdoor and fitness website snewsnet.com, New England (company leaded by Doug Clark, former vice president of Timberland’s Invention Factory) has acquired the GoLite footwear intellectual property from Timberland and will be re-launching it soon. Quoting from the news release:

Timberland is retaining the GoLite trademark and is licensing the rights to the GoLite name to Clark for all products below the ankle. The license for GoLite products above the ankle, including equipment, belongs to GoLite, a Boulder, Colo., company manufacturing technical outerwear as well as packs, tents and sleeping bags.
