Perry Ellis International, Inc. announced an expansion of its strategic licensing partnership with ACI International. This collaboration marks the continuation of PEI's long-standing, 16 year relationship with the current Perry Ellis footwear manufacturer, this time focusing on Men's and Boys' footwear collections under the iconic Original Penguin brand. The debut of these stylish and versatile designs is slated for a Fall 2024 release.

PEI and ACI International will use classic Penguin designs while infusing fresh concepts that capture an elevated yet enduring American essence. In addition, a standout feature will be the launch of a performance tennis and pickleball line of footwear, catering to sports enthusiasts who demand style and functionality. The new collection will be available at key department stores, leading footwear chains, sporting goods stores, and prominent e-commerce platforms across the United States and Canada, ensuring accessibility to a broad audience.
