There is no denying that Brooks has played a key role in the evolution of athletic shoes. Brooks was founded in 1914 (the same year as Lamey Wellehan) and for decades produced all types of products, from ballet shoes, baseball cleats and even ballet shoes. In 1975 came the Brooks Villanova running, which introduced runners to the comfort and durability of EVA midsoles. Today, Brooks is a fully focused running brand and is an undisputed leader in running shoe innovation.
