The story of Descente began in 1935 when Takeo Ishimoto opened his first retail shop in Osaka, Japan. By 1955 he was specializing in athletic apparel and stretch-style ski pants. Descente incorporated in 1958 and in 1964 began designing and marketing golf apparel.

Descente launched into the North American market by establishing its first U.S. sales and distribution center in New York in 1979 and in 1984 began distribution in Canada. In 1989, due to favorable regional economic factors in the Rocky Mountain region, Descente moved its New York offices to Englewood, Colorado. In October 1996, the Canadian and U.S. Descente operations merged into one company to form Descente North America, Inc.

The name Descente is French for “downhill” and the company’s logo symbolizes the three basic techniques of skiing: straight running, side slipping and traversing. It also represents Descente’s ceaseless pursuit of nurturing and promoting athleticism by offering high-performance apparel that enhances the pure enjoyment of sport.

Descente works with many world-class athletes and organizations throughout the world. Descente has produced team apparel for skiing, cycling, volleyball, swimming, and speed skating and has clothed many gold medal winning Olympic athletes (Eric Heiden won 5 gold medals at Lake Placid in a distinctive Descente speed-skating suit.)

By providing sponsorship and support to a variety of athletes and events across the globe, Descente is granted an opportunity to act as an ambassador in the world of sports. Helping to increase society’s awareness of the healthy benefits of a lively pursuit of sports by offering apparel that responds to the true needs of athletes will enable Descente to command respect well into the new millennium.
