Sneakers: The Silent Rise of a Clothing Revolution

The quintessentially "silent" shoes have made giant strides in recent history, going from humble sneakers to symbols of social status on fashion runways, and all this without making any "noise."

Since Native Americans had the good idea of covering the soles of their feet with latex to protect them from trauma, it took the rubber vulcanization process developed by Charles Goodyear to witness the birth of the first real sneakers, which made their official entry in 1896 at the Athens Olympic Games.

Athletes immediately understood the comfort of these shoes, and the first basketball shoes appeared in 1919. Due to their intrinsic qualities, sneakers spread among people of all ages and not just among athletes, quite the contrary: they were not considered elegant shoes at the time.

From the Sports Field to the Catwalk: The Elegant Metamorphosis of Legendary Comfort

Between Olympic Games, sneakers enjoyed the favor of illustrious personalities, from Jesse Owens to James Dean, from Michael Jordan to David Beckham, through the years of rebellion with jeans, thus becoming a symbol of freedom, emancipation, and breaking with the past.

Thanks to advances in technology, the technical details of sneakers have also improved, as well as the well-being of the foot. They are now set on the path of a constant ascent towards a user base quite different from the world of sports and become shoes sought after by haute couture, but always very comfortable.
