The word "Sneakers" comes from the English verb “to sneak”, “to sneak up” which means "to sneak in" or "to sneak in". The term was first used at the end of the 19th century.
In 1887, the word "Sneakers" first appeared in literature. It described a type of rubber-soled shoe that was quieter to walk compared to a stiff leather-soled shoe. Thanks to this, people who wore such shoes could "sneak" or move imperceptibly.
In 1892, the US company. Rubber Company began producing rubber-soled shoes called "Keds." These shoes became one of the first mass-produced types of "Sneakers".
The term "Sneakers" has a rich historical and cultural context, ranging from its origins as a quiet shoe with rubber soles to its contemporary role in fashion, sports and collecting.
You know what...? Bar “Snickers”, although it sounds similar to "Sneakers", has nothing to do with sneakers. The name of this bar has its own history. The Snickers bar was first released by Mars, Incorporated in 1930. The name "Snickers" comes from the name of the favorite horse of the Mars family. This horse, named Snickers, was very popular in the family, and they decided to name a new bar in his honor.
Thus, although the name “Snickers” may sound similar to "Sneakers", its origin is related to the specific history of the Mars family and their love for their horse, not their shoes.
