Comfortable shoes are in higher demand today than ever before. Over the last few years, a great deal has changed in footwear fashion. In the past, it was considered an absolute no-go to combine sporty shoes with a festive outfit. Today, the image has changed. Even at fashion shows, you can see Italian sneakers worn with a little black dress, an elegant summer dress, or a suit. For many decades, Hogan has established itself in the sector of sporty-elegant classics.
Historical facts about sneakers
A sneaker is generally a leather shoe with a rubber sole. This is also the decisive factor for the name "sneak," which is English and means to move quietly. Before the introduction of sneakers, a leather sole was common. This causes noise with every step, unlike the rubber sole. It also cushions every step and offers a secure grip on slippery surfaces. By the time Italian sneakers conquered the market, they were primarily popular in Great Britain. They were originally developed for a sport that is little known in this country. At roughly the same time, in the 1860s, models specifically developed for the game of croquet came onto the market in the USA and England. They were named after the inventor Samuel Plimsoll. In 1917, the U.S. Rubber Company mass-produced the Keds model for the first time. The shoe style has also been known by the term sneaker since the 1910s. The word goes back to the advertising expert Henry Nelson McKinney. A real hype about sneakers emerged when the teen star of the time, James Dean, was photographed wearing them in the 1950s. Back then, sneakers stood for the young generation who wanted to stand out from their often stuffy parents. Today, however, sneakers are popular with young and old alike across all social classes. For decades, the company Hogan, founded by Felipe Della Valle, has been shaking up the market for Italian sneakers.
