GENEALOGY OF STRETCH: THE BEGINING.



A long History of active footwear featuring a stretchable material might have started around 1983….. right up to …. an ongoing story.

After the genealogy of speed (unfortunately removed from the internet, not from my archive) and the Genealogy of Free, currently accessible and both made by the Nike brand initiative, I propose here to decline an other opus: the genealogy of Stretch.

Enjoy the 80's and the 90's then we'll roll for the first decade and later on the second decade of the new century.  In that particular case, watching the gone past tells us about the past future.
