Hi my name is Fabian I am going tell you about the

history of sneakers.

In the late 18th century, people wore rubber-

soled shoes called canvas slippers, but they were
quite crude; for one thing, there was no right
foot or left foot. Around 1892, the U.S. Rubber
Company created very comfortable rubber
sneakers with canvas uppers, originally called
Keds. In 1917, these sneakers go Global.

Sneakers went international in 1924. In that

moment a German man named Adi Dassler
created his own sneakers version That he named
after himself: Adidas. This new brand became
the most popular athletic shoe in the world track
star Jessie Owens wore Adidas when he won
four gold medals at the 1936 Olympics. Adi's
brother Rudi made another famous sports shoe
company: Puma.
During the first half of the 20th century, sports
shoes were worn mostly to play sports. But in
the 1950s, kids began wearing them as fashion.
Even more teens followed the fad after seeing
James Dean in sneakers in the popular movie
Rebel Without a Cause.

Shoe sales really took off in 1984, when

Michael Jordan signed a contract to wear Nike
shoes called Air Jordans, the most famous shoes
ever made. Even after Jordan retired from the
NBA, his shoes continued to be huge sellers. As
companies like Nike, Reebok, and Adidas
competed, they changed the way sneakers
looked, adding wild colors and removing laces.
Shoes began to be produced for all sports,
including walking, skateboarding, and "cross
training."

New shoe technologies increase performance.

Nike's Air Force used small pockets of gas to
create better cushioning, while Reebok
introduced The Pump: air pumped into the shoes
for a better fit. The sneaker surprises continue:
Spira Footwear, for example, has incorporated a
spring into the soles to reduce stress on the feet.
Of course, creations like these come at a price—
sneakers go for over $100 a pair!

I use this shoes very usually and I really love it.

Thanks.
