Cole Haan
Cole Haan was part of the USA list of 26 companies in danger last 2018. It has tried to enter the athletic shoe market by focusing less on dress shoes and more on sporty sneakers. Cole Haan used to be owned by athletic shoe empire Nike, although Apax Partners bought it out in 2013. Now competing with its former parent company, it is not hard to see why it is now struggling.

Charlotte Russe
In March 2019, Charlotte Russ liquidated and halted operations in its stores. It applied for bankruptcy in February 2019, although it only planned to shut down 94 stores. It then became 500 stores after a liquidator took home the winning bid during its bankruptcy court auction. Its stores were commonly found in malls, so its sales have gone down with the amount of foot traffic in these establishments.
