The Evolution Of Footwear For Sports
Abstract
The first footwear was not made to any specifications, and shoes of men and women once were very similar, while looks, designs, and materials varied with the changes of social status or classes. The change of sneakers are highly related to the evolution of materials, as well as the sports itself. New technologies have increased the performance of sneakers. Those who are knowledgeable about the evolution of sneakers predict that the future of footwear will be self-lacing performance sneakers.References
