SCHWAB'S 2ND WIND

THE SCHWAB FAMILY

Schwab's 2ndWind was founded in 1979 with Harold Schwab and his father Ray Schwab. It started as a small resoling company based out of Ray's basement. Harold had a great track career racing for Centereach, University of Pennsylvania, and appearing in the Olympic Trials competing in the 400 hurdles. Shortly after it moved to a location in the village of Port Jefferson and started selling new sneakers rather than resoling. Steve Schwab, Harold's brother joined the business and help form the screen printing division of Schwab's 2ndwind. In 1983 the business moved to its new and current location in East Setauket. As Harolds family grew so did his staff. His son Joe started working as a summer job in middle school and never looked back. Our focus is having a great knowledge of sneakers and fitting them correctly to indiviudal customers as needed.
