What Your Sneakers Say About You

Image by: Clinton Hussey

What your kicks say about you.

When ad man Henry Nelson McKinney coined the term “sneaker” for Keds’s rubber-soled  – and therefore noiseless – shoe in 1917, he could hardly have foreseen the humble canvas-top shoe’s eventual, all-pervasive market dominance. Whether you’re running a marathon or just running errands, sneakers are perhaps the most versatile article of clothing ever devised – be they “trainers,” “gym shoes,”  “runners” or just “kicks.”
