Those [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] that you just can't live without,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that you use for working out, doing yard work,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], walking, running or just hanging out - the sneaker - has a fascinating history.
The sneaker has been around since the 1800s when the Industrial Revolution took hold on America and rubber began being produced.

The word "sneaker" was also introduced to the world about a decade later when an advertising agent gave these rubber soled [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the name sneakers because the soles were so quiet and didn't make any noise on any surface.
Converse was the next company to release a sneaker to the world in 1917. They called it the Converse All Star and it was the shoe worn by basketball players. This shoe - the Converse All Star - later became the Chuck Taylor All Star and became a necessity to basketball players, kids and others for more than 50 years.
Adi and Rudolph Dassler introduced the first shoe used for tennis, or the tennis shoe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in 1931 and the brand name Adidas was born. Soon after Rudolph Dassler teamed with Puma Schuhfabrik to produce the Puma brand shoe for football.
It took until the 1950s for sneakers to be the preferred footwear of teenagers after James Dean was photographed wearing his jeans and white sneakers. Girls and boys wore their sneakers as a symbol of rebellion.
