The History of Red Sneakers

Red sneakers have a long and fulfilling history going back to the turn of the twentieth century. Wait? Turn of the twentieth century?

Yes, in fact the humble sneaker has a history as long as your car and longer than many of your most treasured items in your family’s household.

Many believe the earliest sneaker, including the red sneaker, go back as far as 1917 to the basketball player, Chuck Taylor’s famous design. However, this is incorrect, the red sneaker goes back even further to as early as 1907, to the invention of vulcanized rubber by Charles Goodyear, almost immediately afterwards companies began producing athletics shoes of various designs and varieties.

However, Chuck Taylor can in fact trace red canvas sneakers back to the famous design in 1917, who suggested the canvas sneaks design when he was playing basketball professionally. In 1916, a company called Keds began producing sneakers, one of which was Red Keds. Red Keds in fact were the first to use the term “sneakers” in reference to their shoes’ rubber soles ability to “sneak” around corners.

Since then sneakers, including the various red sneakers design have been a staple of teenage fashion. Whether it is for their athletic uses or through the use of various subcultures among teenage fashion populaces, sneakers have become a commonplace sight on many school campuses. Since the 1980s and 1990s teenagers among the “punk” and “Goth” subcultures of teenage students have been wearing sneakers such as Red Keds due to both their simplicity and variety of design.

Many famous wearers of red canvas sneakers include Led Zeppelin, Woody Allen, Dustin Hoffman, and more. These have increased the exposure of the sneaker design among the teenage and other populaces in the fashion industry. Leading to their use in the casual shoe industry among followers of fashion trends. Today many teenagers wear them as a symbol of pride and solidarity among their peers.

However, red sneakers are still popular in their intended use in the field of athletics. Their rubber soles allow for continuous use on surfaces such as basketball courts and their canvas lining provides an aerated atmosphere for one’s feet to feel comfortable in playing. Ever since that first endorsement sneakers of all kinds have been a staple of basketball and basketball culture among the teenage fashion trends. Red sneakers in particular are a particularly fashionable version of the classic red canvas sneaks design. Sports endorsers are bigger and better, increasing the marketing and exposure of these shoes among the athletics fashion populaces.

Therefore, whether one wears them for fashion or for practicality a pair of red keds or red canvas sneaks is the way to go for comfort and practicality. Use in both athletics and fashion keeps the sneaker at the forefront of clothing and fashion design and trending. The sneaker has come a long way in our time, and shows every sign of continuing on as strong as ever, and those original designs are still with us to this day.

Top 5 Women Sneaker Trends Spring/Fall 2012

As spring fast approaches, women are searching for the top sneaker trends that will set the fashion scene for the upcoming seasons of the year. Catching these trends as they develop will keep them alert for the cool sneaker designs for school and work as well as getting good sneaker reviews which can separate the solid, durable brands from the lesser ones. The upcoming trends cover teenage girls sneakers as well as women sneaker trends.

What is certainly true about this year is that the trends we saw last fall will continue in some fashion as a relatively warm winter in the US is quickly leading to an early spring. Sneakers however, are always highly popular whether going for the athletic look or for those who want more casual fare. However, there are strong indications that a large part of the top 10 sneakers for girls and women will reflect a brighter, more colorful look which is indicative of changing times. 

Hotness: Bright, bold colors from the new Gucci collection of sneakers marks not so much a turning point, but a continuation of a trend that began last fall. Perhaps due to more positive indicators in the national economy along with a Presidential election, the feeling of change is in the air and with that comes styles that are generally more attention getting.

Ultra-High Tops: The high top sneaker comes in and out of favor over the years. What was once popular in the mid-1950’s has had its share of peaks and valleys since. However, a new type of ultra-high top sneaker which goes way beyond the ankle is currently making a statement on the fashion scene. This could be a trend to jump onto, especially in the early spring and then early fall when the weather begins to change.

Exotic Prints: If the recent Oscar Awards ceremony is any indication, bold is back in both colors and new prints that help grab attention and augment the sneaker look. Thanks to advancing technology an entire new line of exotic prints decorate sneakers today and that trend only looks to get stronger in the near future.

Tie-Offs: Some brands of new high tops feature a single, larger string to tie off the top of the sneaker. This adds more personality and uniqueness to the sneaker design itself as teenagers can add their own style and accoutrements to this larger fabric strand which ties off the top of the sneaker.

Glitter: It seems that glitter is in style every spring season, probably because escaping the doldrums of winter brings out the glitter in all of us, especially with the trend heading towards brighter, bolder colors. Unique glitter patterns and accessories will augment women’s sneakers for the near future as is common with this seasonal trend.

Exotic, bright colors enhanced by larger sneaker designs such as the ultra-high tops will set the trends for the spring season. Take advantage by shopping at your favorite online sneaker store and order your pair quickly to take advantage of the warm weather!
