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!

Another thing that we, females, love is to get a bargain. If there was an upcoming sale or discount that they can find for the shoes which are currently popular they would want to know about it.

Walking on Air: Sneaker Fashion for Girls & Teenagers

In this day and age, shoe fashion rules are less astringent and kinder to one’s feet. There is a fashionable alternative to teeter tottering while wearing shoes with extremely high heels and ultra thick platforms, running the risk of breaking an ankle or falling flat on your face.  Not even Hollywood goddesses are immune from having a shoe accident on the most important day of their lives!!

While you cannot wear them all the time nor can you do so for all occasions, these shoes have become more versatile over time and women and girls from all kinds of households are wearing them everywhere they go.  The wearing of sneakers is no longer confined to the sports arenas or solely for sporting events. Many teenagers, especially, favor putting on a pair of oftentimes personalized sneakers. After all, they can be very comfortable! Teenage sneaker culture has transformed these pedestrian shoes into a medium to make a fashion statement. Called “tennis shoes” once upon a time and coming only in white canvas material, sneakers now come in solid colors of the rainbow or any combination thereof.  They can come out in either “low-cut”, “high top” or “high cut” styles, with some styles designed with platform but still made of rubber soles.

In fact, for most sneakers, the only qualifying characteristic for a pair of shoes to be called sneakers is that the soles are made from rubber or variations of this material. The materials used for the body of the shoe itself now range from all kinds of stuff, from the traditional canvas to suede to leather to patent leather to Naugahyde or any combinations of these. One can say that the sneakers as a shoe item has come of age and taken over the fashion scene.  They have become favored not only by teens but by their moms, as well.  Many moms, for that matter have rediscovered how comfortable wearing a pair of sneakers can be. The fashion craze is also helped a lot by many Hollywood sirens coming out and wearing them everywhere, although they may still make their presence known on the Red Carpet, if they have not yet done so by this time.

Sneaker fashion designers have taken liberties and gone to town with what they still call “sneakers.” Now they look like nothing that is related to the sports shoes that were the original take off point.  The high fashion houses in Paris and in other fashion centers in the world have joined in making the latest fashionable version of the sneaker with the equivalent pricey price tags. Some shoes have their front parts cut off so that they look like peep-toe pumps. Some styles come with rhinestones and sequins and multi-colored shoe laces adorned with pompoms, little bells or other attention  catching gadgets that can make you a standout in a crowd. Shopping for a pair of sneakers can become a most wonderful journey with more options available than one can imagine would be possible. The best sneaker brands no longer come from the renowned manufacturers of sports equipment but are now the high fashion houses in Europe.  The humble sneaker shoes have arrived and have become the latest darlings of the world of shoes.

 

How did teenagers start wearing sneakers as a part of fashion?

Sneakers have been around a very long time. They started manufacturing sneakers in the late 18^th century, but they did not coin the name “sneakers” until the year 1892. This is when the US Rubber company came out with Keds brand sneakers, made of canvas tops and rubber. Keds brand sneakers are still around today and if you have a pair, you can feel confident you are wearing the most historical sneaker ever created. The moniker sneakers came about because, when someone wore this type of shoe, they could sneak around without anyone hearing them walk; because of the rubber sole and canvas. People started calling the shoes, sneakers.

Sneakers started gaining momentum as with all types of athletes all over the world. In the year, 1917, Marquis Converse created a basketball sneaker, commonly called Converse All-Stars. Following Marquis’ creation, a basketball player by the name of Chuck Taylor endorsed Converse All-Stars, converting the name to Chuck Taylor’s. In 1924, Adi Dassler created a sneaker with the name, Adidas. Adi’s brother then created another sneaker, the puma. Sneakers are worn by the top players in sports, including being worn in the Olympics.

Sneakers being worn by the public started during the 50’s. This is when kids started wearing them as fashion statements, instead of to play a sport. In 1984, the sneakers trend hit an all time high with Michael Jordan wearing the Air Jordan’s. Nike and Reebok competed on the sneaker scene along with Adidas. Up sprung sneakers for every sport imaginable, including skateboarding, running and cross training. Sneaker companies started putting bright colors and unique designs on their sneakers to add to the competition.

Today, more and more sneaker manufacturers are making sneakers with amazing designs and even better features. There has been the Nike Air Force, using gas as a cushion to make the person wearing the sneaker jump and run faster, creating a type of bounce effect. Reebok came out with The Pump sneaker, in which you could pump air right into your sneaker, ensuring for a perfect fit every time.

Sneakers are a staple and I don’t know anybody who doesn’t have at least one pair of sneakers. Women, men, children and even babies wear sneakers. Sneakers come in all colors of the rainbow, from, pink to black, patterned and green, red and rainbow and everything in between. The features that come with sneakers nowadays are endless, some types of sneakers are great for runners, others are great for hikers; some are perfect for basketball players. The list could go on and on with how many different types of sneakers are in the market today.

The important thing is to remember how sneakers started, with a little known rubber and canvas shoe, the Keds sneaker. They are the shoe that started it all and they have lasted until the present day.
