KangaROOS has been one of the top brands in sneakers for over 30 years and has grown from a running shoe brand to a truly global lifestyle brand that designs and sells not only shoes, but also clothing and accessories in over 60 countries. The sporty origin is something that KangaROOS remains true to as a brand, combining athletic heritage with originality and unexpectedness to create the most surprising and high-quality sneakers. Today, KangaROOS consists of innovative products, reissued classics, and trendy collaborations with hip brands, designers, and stores. KangaROOS combines tradition and expertise with an awareness of international trends for the authentic urban lifestyle: creative, fast, and open-minded.
In 1979, Bob Gamm, a passionate jogger, architect, and founder of KangaROOS, came up with the idea and design for the running shoe with a small zippered pocket big enough to hold your keychain and a few coins while running. As a jogger, he found the jingling keychain and rattling coins in his pocket very annoying, so he brought these multifunctional training shoes to the market. In this way, Bob Gamm hoped to make the lives of runners more enjoyable during their runs.
The brand logo with the kangaroo also dates back to the early days of KangaROOS. Bob Gamm came up with the name KangaROOS for his shoes because kangaroos make big leaps while running and never look back, only forward. These were qualities that Bob Gamm identified with as a runner. In addition, kangaroos naturally have their own pouch, and that's how 'The Original Shoes With Pockets' came to life. In the mid-80s, KangaROOS quickly gained popularity within the American sports scene. Bob Gamm's vision made KangaROOS one of the top five performance brands in the United States, and at the same time, the brand's popularity also grew rapidly in Europe.
At one point, KangaROOS decided to embrace technical innovations such as DynaCoil, which is now integrated into the retro insoles of historical running styles. Bob Gamm opened a 10,000 square meter KangaROOS laboratory dedicated to testing sports shoes at the University of Illinois in the United States. In collaboration with NASA engineers, the brand developed DynaCoil in 1986, a 3D woven coil fabric technology to be used in sneakers, specifically for serious runners.
