Fashion › Four Facts About "Sneakers Shoes" You Don't Know (Read On) by HQuadreal(op):
We all have them, we all love them: sneakers. They are
more than just sportswear, they are an everyday
essential and a fashion statement. Collecting sneakers
became a popular hobby in the recent years. But there
are some things not many people know about their
favourite shoes. For example: What about the fact that
the biggest sneaker collection is worth over 750.000
dollars and turned a guy’s life from poor to rich? How is
that possible? The answer to that and many other
interesting facts about sneakers, you can read below!


Did you know,...

(1) how sneakers got their name?
There are several kinds of words for them: they’re called
“sandshoes”, “joggers” or “gym shoes” in Australia,
“canvers” in Nigerian-English and in South-Africa they
are called “tackies” or “sneaks”. What’s most common,
is the English word sneak, which comes from the Old
English word „snican“ and meant „creeping“ or
„crawling“. Years later, the word sneaking was used for
people who walk around, not wanting others to see or
hear them. Sneaking in the 1800s wasn’t that easy as it
is today: people wore loud, clunky shoes back in those
times. Later, rubber soled shoes became popular and
were the first shoes to be mass produced: sneakers
were created. Their main advantage: people could now
finally move around faster and more quietly, without
catching anyone’s attention.


(2)who first produced them?
Many people think that “Keds” invented the first
sneakers because they were the first one to mass-
market the product. Originally, the company “Goodyear”
made producing sneakers possible in the first place. In
1839 they were the first ones who had the license for the
process of vulcanization – more specifically: attaching
cloth to rubber. Rubber shoes were first created in the
1870ies in the UK, and used to play croquet – slowly
they became popular for athletic purposes under the
name „plimsoll“. In the 1890ies the brand “Keds” started
producing the first trainers in the US, describing them as
the „first feel-like-everday’s-a-Saturday-shoes“.


(3)which sneakers are the most expensive ones in the
world?
It may or may not be a myth, but what’s sure is that the
sneakers rapper Kanye West designed with “Nike” is
one of the most expensive ones: when he produced his
album named “Yeezus” he wanted to have the right
shoes for his tour, so he designed the “Nike Air Yeezy 2
Red October” and announced via Twitter that they are
up for sale. Ten minutes later, they were sold out - each
one for 245 dollars. Afterwards they were re-sold on
Ebay - the highest amount of money someone payed
for them is suspected to be 17 million dollars. Now, two
years after its release, Kanye signed a contract with
“Nike’s” competitor “Adidas”. In October 2016 his
second sneaker, the “Adidas Original Yeezy Boost 750”
is going to be released.


(4)who’s the biggest sneakerhead of all times?
He’s called Mark “Major” Farese and is the world’s
most famous and crazy sneakerhead. He owns over
3.000 pairs of sneakers worth more than 750.000
dollars. Some of them are several kinds of “Yeezys”,
“Air MAGs” and “Air Jordan 4 Undefeated”, which are
the most popular ones. He grew up as a poor child in
the Bronx and later turned his hobby into a profession
by collecting all the money that he owned and the one
he stole from his grandparents and investing it into
sneakers. He would buy one pair and sell them six
times higher than they cost before. Now he gets paid for
being a brand ambassador. In the interview below, he
talks about his passion and how collecting sneakers
saved his life.

He earned three caps for the Burkina Faso national team between 2006 and 2010.he was in action for Corsican amateur side AJ Biguglia when he suffered a heart attack in the middle of the game.

These are lists of players who died in 2016 .we pray this should be the last tragedy for the beautiful game. “It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things."
