    The sneakers have been our best friends and can go with us in walking, running, dancing and also in the other sports. They always give us a comfortable feel and good look when we wear them. These sneaker shoes have a fascinating history behind their evolution (演变).

    The sneakers were first produced (生产) in the year of 1800 with a simple rubber sole(鞋底) design. The shoes were given the name sneakers because the soles were so soft and they did not make any sound on the ground. The Keds was the first company during the early decades to produce the sneakers.

    As time passed by, the sneakers also got the interest of teens and they became part of their fashion. Sneakers started ruling（统治） youngsters' fashion world. Then the famous company, Nike, also entered the sneaker world. The Nike Tailand was their first model of sneakers and it was followed by Air Jordan in the following years. Nike plays an important role in the production of sneaker shoes and they also have the top place in the athletic shoes' market.

    But now, sneakers can be given any possible shape according to a designer's（设计者）imagination. They are used as casual sneakers, dance sneakers and athletic sneakers suiting men and women. The Vans plays an important role in the production of sneakers for women. These sneakers play an important part in the fashion world and they come in different kinds of models and suit everybody's need. Thus, sneakers, with a long history, have reached the top place in the market.
