澳洲运动服品牌Stax在历经财务危机后迎来转机。该品牌于今年6月因欠债670万美元被NAB银行的接管人接手，其中包括员工欠薪45.3万美元、债权人欠款630万美元、税务局欠款12.3858万美元以及中国供应商宁波明纳成衣欠款190万美元[1]。如今，Stax已被Pushas创始人Justin Truong及其妻子Sandy Li-Truong领导的投资者集团通过私人收购方式救援，两人成为新的多数股东[1]。本次收购金额未披露[1]。
Pushas是一家运动鞋交易平台，年营收超1000万美元，获得了Twitch联合创始人Justin Kan和Airtasker创始人Tim Fung的支持[1]。新东家已制定重建计划，包括聘请新任CEO重组运营团队，同时保留原品牌IP和数字资产，并考虑向未履行订单的客户提供善意补偿[1]。
Stax由Don Robertson和Matilda Murray于2015年创立[1]。该品牌曾在2022年登上澳洲金融评论富豪榜，2025年估值达7000万美元[1]。然而，品牌近年经历了重大挫折。Stax于2022年积极扩展实体店网络至少8家，但在2025年因租金上升和消费者支出下降的双重压力下，被迫关闭其中6家[1]。
Australian sportswear brand Stax has been rescued through a private acquisition by a group of investors led by Justin Truong and Sandy Li-Truong, founders of the sneaker marketplace Pushas, who have become the new majority shareholders [1]. The rescue comes months after the brand was placed under receivership in June following accumulated debts totaling $6.7 million [1].
The debt burden included $453,000 in unpaid employee wages, $6.3 million owed to creditors, $123,858 in outstanding tax obligations, and $1.9 million owed to Chinese manufacturer Ningbo Minna Garment [1]. Under the new ownership structure facilitated through a family office group, the Truongs plan to hire a new CEO to rebuild the operational team while preserving the brand's intellectual property and digital assets [1]. The new owners are also considering goodwill compensation for customers with unfulfilled orders [1].
Stax, founded in 2015 by Don Robertson and Matilda Murray, had expanded to at least eight physical retail locations by 2022 [1]. However, the brand closed six stores in 2025 due to rising rent costs and declining consumer spending [1]. The founders appeared on the Australian Financial Review rich list in 2022, and the brand was valued at $70 million in 2025 [1]. Pushas, the backing company behind the acquisition, generates annual revenue exceeding $10 million and has support from Twitch co-founder Justin Kan and Airtasker founder Tim Fung [1].
