KangaROOS

KangaROOS is a truly global lifestyle brand selling footwear, apparel and accessories in over 60 countries. The brand still remains true to its sports origin and combines a genuine athletic heritage with an ethos that consistently values the original and the unexpected.

The history of the brand begins in 1979 with Bob Gamm, the American founder of the company. He is the inventor of the "ORIGINAL SHOES WITH POCKETS". The architect and passionate runner is one of the jogging fans of the first hour and spends a lot of time with it. So much time that even the annoying "where to put my key" question won't let him go. During one of his daily 10-kilometer workouts, he finds the solution: running shoes with an integrated pocket. Bob christened his shoes "KangaROOS": the kangaroo a fast runner, it never moves backwards and it has a 'pouch' - the original KangaROOS Pocket.
