Description

National Treasure Navy high-top sneakers are replicas of the original basketball shoe invented in 1892 by the original Colchester Rubber Co. which were rediscovered in 2004 at an estate sale in Vista, CA. The 5″ high-top design, canvas uppers, turkey feather sole pattern, in addition to the Colchester Rubber Co. crest, are all back on these updated classics.

Located a mere 50 miles from the YMCA where Dr. James Naismith developed the initial 13 rules of basketball, the Colchester Rubber Co. was one of the largest vulcanized rubber shoe manufacturers of its time, and its production of high-top basketball footwear predates that of any competitors’ by a quarter of a century. Made from vulcanized rubber and canvas, the original sneakers were the first of their kind that protected feet while running, jumping, and pivoting on gymnasium floors. Updated for contemporary casual wear, National Treasure Navy has a built-in arch, cushioned insole, metal eyelets, and canvas uppers.
