  • Sneaker Century, Follow Sneaker Fashions and the Larger-Than-Life Personalities Behind the Best Known Athletic Shoe Brands in History
    AMBER J. KEYSER SNEAKER CENTURY A HISTORY OF ATHLETIC SHOES WHETHER YOU CALL THEM KICKS OR SNEAKERS, RUNNERS OR GUTTIES, YOU PROBABLY HAVE A PAIR OF ATHLETIC SHOES IN YOUR CLOSET. The earliest sneakers debuted in the 1800s and weren’t much more than a canvas upper and a fl exible sole made of a crazy new material—rubber. For thousands of years, the indigenous peoples of the Amazon Basin of South America had been using latex made from the milky sap of hevea trees to protect their feet from rocks, sticks, and biting insects. Once Charles Goodyear fi gured out how to make the stuff more durable, sneakers were here to stay. Early sneakers were initially designed for elite athletes, but kids and teens quickly adopted them. Some of the fi rst brands included Converse, Brooks, and Saucony. German companies Adidas and Puma started up during World War II. The Nike shoe debuted in the 1970s. As fi tness crazes took off in the 1980s, people all over the world started buying the shoes for workouts and everyday wear. At about the same time, companies began hiring high-profi le athletes and pop stars for big-dollar endorsements, and shoe sales soared into billions of dollars each year. In Sneaker Century, follow sneaker fashions and the larger-than-life personalities behind the best known athletic shoe brands in history. Learn how teen sneakerheads became important style makers. Look behind the scenes at the labor- intensive process of manufacturing sneakers. Explore the sneaker frontier of the future—recycled shoes, earth-friendly initiatives, and high-fashion statements.

  • THE KEY VOL 75 NO 4 WINTER 1958.Pdf
    -, ___ ......_ __ ...- ~ \.- ..... A positive concept of education On one occasion Aristotle was asked how much educated men were superior to those uneducated. "As much," said he, "as the living are to the dead." In its deep concern for scholastic achievement among its chapters, Kappa Kappa Gamma seeks to promote a positive concept of education. Recognizing that the mem­ bers will ultimately enter upon varied fields of activity requiring specialized perform­ ance, Kappa wishes to encourage the kind of basic education which will enable each member to discover and to develop her personal and individual capacities, to understand herself and the world around her, to relate herself to the tradition of democratic so­ ciety, and to become a responsible and well-adjusted woman and citizen. As a means to such a goal the Fraternity Scholarship Committee should cooperate with the college or university in its efforts to: l. Introduce the student to the spirit as well as to the content of sound learning; 2. Emphasize the moral and aesthetic as well as the intellectual aspects of its train­ ing; 3. Develop a discrimination of values through the recognition and pursuit of excel­ lence, and through discontent with mediocrity; 4. Develop awareness of the methods of investigation employed in the several branches of learning, and provide some experience in the use of these methods; 5. Encourage freedom from narrowness, prejudice, and intellectual stagnation, and freedom for vision, tolerance, creativity, and wisdom. Kappa would have its members know that integrity and honesty in performance out­ weigh any high achievement by false means.
