The word ‘sneakers shoes’ was first used in the Boston Journal in 1887 in reference to tennis shoes. It was because their rubber sole made no sound when stepping on the ground. The first rubber sneakers were manufactured in 1892 in the US by the US Rubber Company. They called it Keds. In the year 1917, Marquis Converse came up with the first sneaker of its kind, made especially for playing basketball; it was christened what we now know as the now famous Converse All-Stars. By 1924, sneakers were being manufactured internationally. It was in 1924, that a German, Adi Dassler, introduced a new sneaker series and named it Adidas.
