THE SNEAKERS : THE MARKET STREETWEAR BOOMING
From basketball to SNEAKERS, A story imbued with a strong heritage
The genesis of sneakers Begun in the United States over a century ago. Everything starts from the discovery of an American scientist who will later give his name to one of the largest tire companies in the world, Goodyear. It was in 1939 that Charles Goodyear will invent a way of making rubber more flexible, thus creating a more resistance, easily manipulable, and waterproof. This innovation will revolutionize the design of shoes with the appearance of the first rubber soles thus providing very great durability. The first shoes to adorn themselves with this technology are tennis silhouettes. This symbolizes the appearance of modern pairs.
