Of all the trainer shoe companies that are marketing men’s trainers today one of the most famous and prolific has to be Nike. Nike started out life as Blue Ribbon Sports (BRS) in 1964 initially operating as a distributor for Japanese sports shoe maker Onitsuka Tiger and selling mostly at track events. 180px-nike-logo-orange_svg1In 1971 the BRS and Onitsuka Tiger relationship was coming to an end and BRS was started to go it alone with its own line of trainers bearing the now famous “Swooch” trademark. In 1978 BRS officially became Nike which was the line of shoes it had marketed since 1972. With the now iconic “Waffle trainer” introduced in 1974, Nike had reached 50% of the USA market in 1980 when it finally became a public company.

Sportswear Company Lacoste, another iconic label in the sports fashion industry, finally entered the fashion shoe market in 1985 when they introduced their designer label launching the new line of Lacoste tennis shoes. Once established in the fashion footwear market they followed shortly afterwards in 1986 with their “deck shoes” and then in 1988 with their “walking shoes”.

Now with the latest explosion in the fashion trainer market the number of designer labels such as Armani, Diesel and Pierre Cardin, have also grown exponentially to an extent where there are now designer labels that only make fashion trainers with no connection to either the sports or fitness world at all. However, many sports companies having now seen the marketing potential  have now adopted these designer features into their own trainers moving the fashion elements back into the sports and fitness world.
