TRETORN: a brief history
Tretorn, a renowned name in the sneaker industry, means three towers. The name was designed based on the three towers of the city of Sweden. The brand was a joint venture of the dunker brothers laid down in 1891.
The business started with the aim of producing sturdy yet eco-friendly products. The products were designed to bear the harsh winds of winter while protecting both the wearer and mother nature.
In the early 1900s, they dabbled their feet in sports and athleisure by designing their first sneaker which then took off with their cutting-edge tennis ball technology. Now Tretorn is an exclusive tennis brand with daily wear shoes and accessories.
Tretorn was a supplier of tennis apparel to the royal court by king Gustav followed by the new canvas shoe launched in the late 1930s.
Tretorn philosophy is about eco-friendly products, during World War 2 they collected all the rubber shoes and made them into new ones to be used by farmers and workers.
Continuing their legacy, they have introduced their new line of products which are a part of the eco essentials initiative. The new items are Rain Jacket from The Sea made from discarded sea nets and Bio plant Jacket made completely of plants and 100% biodegradable. The names are a bit unique but are well deserved.
SUPERGA: a brief history
The brand features its name on the Superga hill of Turan, Italy the birthplace of the brand. Superga was launched by a shoemaker in the early 1900s. Walter Martiny crafted shoes with rubber soles to make the lives of the farmers easier. But the brand came to be known to the public in 1925 with the launch of ‘2750’ a shoe with vulcanized rubber insoles.
The brand took a hit during the world war but came back stronger in the coming years with the collaboration with the Pirelli Tyre company. During the late 80s, the brand expanded into diverse collections of shoes and sportswear.
2750 even after a century remains a classic model to wear, considered one of the best options for spring wear.
