KR Strikeforce designs, manufactures, and distributes bowling bags, shoes, rental shoes, and related accessories for bowlers and bowling facilities. It expands its product lineup through licensing partnerships and operates Ontheballbowling.com, which offers personalized digital imagery. The company is based in Melrose Park, Illinois, and traces its origins to 1968 when it began as Kimberly Rose Company after purchasing a Stadium Seat product line. The business has licensed imagery from colleges as well as major sports leagues such as the NFL and MLB, and has diversified into related bowling product lines and branded footwear through partnerships. In 2016, KR Strikeforce entered a licensing agreement with Ebonite International to bring Hammer, Ebonite, Columbia, Track, Robby’s, and Powerhouse under its umbrella, with the introduction of Strikeforce Athletic and Hammer Bowling Shoes.
