Skate Shoes
Skateboarding began to receive
mainstream recognition in the late 1960s. The early skateboard designs
were homemade by California surfers. The clay wheels of the first
skateboard models made high speed maneuvering techniques quite
difficult. With the development of the urethane wheel, skateboarding
quickly began to progress. Specialized skateboarding shoes did not hit
the market until the 1970s.
Throughout
the 1970s, the modern skateboard would slowly begin to take shape. With
the invention of the concave tail, freestyle maneuvers became possible.
As the sport of skateboarding continued to grow, the need for a
specialized shoe increased. Most athletic shoes of the 1970s would
quickly shred when making contact with the grip tape of the skateboard.
According to Complex, the first signature skateboard shoe was released
by Steve Van Doren on March 18, 1976. The first skate shoe model, named
the Style 95, featured a canvas body with a vulcanized sole.
