Damn, that's interesting! Never would've thought of them as gym shoes but that makes a lot of sense.

Love this. Such a unique history as a sneaker that has transformed throughout the years.

A constant feature in multiple cultures.

Thanks Hayden! Agreed - a really broad history that touches almost every corner of culture from skate, to rap, to pop
