| Founded
by Henry Dunker at the end of the 19th century,
Tretorn was an innovator in footwear from the
moment it was launched. Having built up a
reputation for dependability and discreet luxury
with its iconic rubber boots, Tretorn was also the
first company to launch the pressureless tennis
ball. The company's association with life on and
off court rapidly created something of a cult
following surrounding the brand, a status which
was firmly secured when Wimbledon winners took to
the grass in Tretorn in the 1970s. Inspired by the
high profile and success of the brand, Tretorn's
canvas and leather Nylites were the only shoe in
which to be seen wearing on North American
campuses throughout the 1980s. Lean and
understated, Tretorn's simple sneaker was the
first luxury sports shoe on the market. |
