0:00:00,000 --> 0:00:03,030
welcome to the history of the entire

2
0:00:03,040 --> 0:00:05,190
world class today

3
0:00:05,200 --> 0:00:08,790
i'm wearing my brand new red sneakers

4
0:00:08,800 --> 0:00:10,950
look at those little things down there i

5
0:00:10,960 --> 0:00:13,270
personally like to call them squeakers

6
0:00:13,280 --> 0:00:17,920
because when i walk they squeak

7
0:00:19,920 --> 0:00:23,029
in honor of my brand new super red

8
0:00:23,039 --> 0:00:25,990
sneakers i thought that i'd do the

9
0:00:26,000 --> 0:00:27,750
history of

10
0:00:27,760 --> 0:00:29,269
the sneaker

11
0:00:29,279 --> 0:00:33,110
let's take a jump into history shall we

12
0:00:33,120 --> 0:00:35,510
it's a long time ago people needed to

13
0:00:35,520 --> 0:00:37,910
protect their feet

14
0:00:37,920 --> 0:00:40,310
they love their feet but they're getting

15
0:00:40,320 --> 0:00:42,830
all mucky and dirty and

16
0:00:42,840 --> 0:00:45,670
gross i mean they had shoes but how

17
0:00:45,680 --> 0:00:47,990
comfortable are wooden shoes ask the

18
0:00:48,000 --> 0:00:51,029
dutch there was a guy named norman and

19
0:00:51,039 --> 0:00:54,150
his feet were enormous and people called

20
0:00:54,160 --> 0:00:57,510
him enormous norman and he decided i'm

21
0:00:57,520 --> 0:01:00,950
sick and tired of my feet getting wet

22
0:01:00,960 --> 0:01:03,590
when i walk so he put rubber on the

23
0:01:03,600 --> 0:01:06,950
bottom of the shoe you see so that

24
0:01:06,960 --> 0:01:09,510
really caught on people started wearing

25
0:01:09,520 --> 0:01:12,310
all kinds of rubber shoes like gouaches

26
0:01:12,320 --> 0:01:13,990
things to keep their feet from getting

27
0:01:14,000 --> 0:01:16,789
wet but they still weren't sneakers but

28
0:01:16,799 --> 0:01:20,390
this was the first step towards sneakers

29
0:01:20,400 --> 0:01:22,789
and you know what they call them

30
0:01:22,799 --> 0:01:24,310
they call them

31
0:01:24,320 --> 0:01:26,390
plimsolls

32
0:01:26,400 --> 0:01:28,469
i know it sounds like i'm making it up

33
0:01:28,479 --> 0:01:30,789
but that's the truth one problem with

34
0:01:30,799 --> 0:01:32,789
the plimsolls is that they didn't have a

35
0:01:32,799 --> 0:01:34,950
left foot shoe and a right foot shoe

36
0:01:34,960 --> 0:01:37,590
they were both exactly the same but then

37
0:01:37,600 --> 0:01:39,429
in 1892

38
0:01:39,439 --> 0:01:42,149
there was an invention called the

39
0:01:42,159 --> 0:01:45,190
sneaker and it had a rubber sole on the

40
0:01:45,200 --> 0:01:47,910
bottom and canvas on the top

41
0:01:47,920 --> 0:01:49,590
just like an artist would paint on a

42
0:01:49,600 --> 0:01:51,910
canvas and people liked them a whole lot

43
0:01:51,920 --> 0:01:53,510
because they had a left foot shoe and a

44
0:01:53,520 --> 0:01:55,749
right foot shoe and they were very comfy

45
0:01:55,759 --> 0:01:58,069
and they kept your feet dry and they

46
0:01:58,079 --> 0:02:00,789
were very very quiet which is how they

47
0:02:00,799 --> 0:02:02,870
got the name sneaker

48
0:02:02,880 --> 0:02:04,950
because you could sneak up on people and

49
0:02:04,960 --> 0:02:07,749
they wouldn't know what

50
0:02:07,759 --> 0:02:09,510
that's essentially the story of the

51
0:02:09,520 --> 0:02:11,670
sneaker they made some for sports and

52
0:02:11,680 --> 0:02:13,670
they made some for walking and some for

53
0:02:13,680 --> 0:02:17,110
hiking and eventually evolved over time

54
0:02:17,120 --> 0:02:21,589
but the very very very very first

55
0:02:21,599 --> 0:02:24,869
sneaker was called a plimsoll

56
0:02:24,879 --> 0:02:27,270
which is just the weirdest and strangest

57
0:02:27,280 --> 0:02:29,830
word i think i can think of

58
0:02:29,840 --> 0:02:31,390
other than

59
0:02:31,400 --> 0:02:34,830
smorgasbord or

60
0:02:34,840 --> 0:02:38,790
pensacola or uh huh

61
0:02:38,800 --> 0:02:40,630
honorific

62
0:02:40,640 --> 0:02:42,869
wow huh that's it for the sneaker store

63
0:02:42,879 --> 0:02:45,750
