So What About Black Running Shoes?

!: So What About Black Running Shoes?

I often run for fitness and of course prefer my running shoes in black for a few reasons. Firstly black running shoes are perfect for semi formal events where you should really be in dress shoes but well... running shoes or cross trainers are so much more comfortable and hey if it's going to be a long night then your feet will thank you for it. Black running shoes for traveling are practically worth their weight in gold, when you are out sight seeing all day you will need something comfortable to wear and still be able to go out to the ballet or opera without switching shoes. Black running shoes are preferred for reffing because they are durable and comfortable. Trail shoes are great for more traction but can be a nightmare if the ground is a bit dry and cleats are not so good for a ref that is going to be on his or her feet all day so black running shoes prove to be perfect for this job.

So where did the sports shoe actually come from?

Well they have been around for just over a century now and were originally known as sneakers. Originally developed by U.S. runner companies, the sneaker did not take off until after world war I when sneakers started to be highly endorsed by some of America's top football players. By the 20's and 30's companies started to market specific shoes for men and women as well as targeting specific sports. As the baby boom started in the 1950's sneakers sales in the U.S. had escalated to over 600 million sneaker sales per year. As jogging became more and more popular in the 1970's black running sneakers were made for more of a lifestyle purpose and were everywhere. Nike and Reebok took lead in the market in the 80's and transformed running shoes into a fashion statement. The 90's saw the high profile endorsements and marketing go at an all time high due to perfected marketing techniques and fashion skills.
