About this listen

What began as simple athletic shoes for runners and basketball players became one of the most powerful symbols of style, culture, and identity. In this episode of Pop Origins, we trace the journey of sneakers — from Converse on the basketball court to Nike Air Jordans, Adidas collaborations, and the rise of sneakerhead culture. Discover how sneakers went from sports gear to luxury collectibles and global streetwear icons.
