Bench is a well-known British-born lifestyle brand that has its roots in the skate and BMX culture of Manchester. Originally established in the late 1980s, it grew into a global fashion label recognized for its urban streetwear and functional design. This specific product belongs to their sustainable footwear line, often sold through major European retailers like Deichmann.

While the brand was originally a British staple, the ownership and distribution rights have evolved significantly. Today, the global intellectual property rights are owned by the American brand management firm, Sequential Brands Group. In the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), the brand is often licensed to major footwear distributors who manage the production and local availability of these goods. Manufacturing is typically outsourced to Southeast Asia, particularly China and Vietnam, to meet global retail demands.
