I saw an Adidas basketball sneaker commercial earlier today and was trying to remember what brands I have seen put commercials on television. I remember when Nike were THE sneaker and they always had commercials on telling us to “just do it”. They’re still around but I don’t see them on tv as much. Other brands I remember being popular over the years include Converse, LA Gear, Reebok, Nike, New Balance and Puma to name a few. And everyone remembers Keds. My oldest son is twelve now and is into World Industries sneakers. (Actually he calls them board shoes.) Tony Hawk makes sneakers. There actually was a time when a sneaker was a sneaker, and most of them would now be considered cross trainers but back then they were just considered sneakers. Now each brand has a bunch of different styles for each sport. I didn’t even know until today that Adidas golf shoes existed. What’s your favorite sneaker to wear?
