AUTRY” is a sports shoe brand born in 1982 in Dallas, Texas, U.S.A. In the 80’s, the brand was recognized worldwide as a brand of competitive shoes for tennis and running. After a hiatus since the 1990s, the brand will relocate to Europe and re-launch in 2019. The brand’s popularity has been ignited by being carried in major department stores and leading select stores in Europe, Italy, the U.K., and France, as well as in North America and Asia. Incidentally, it is one of the rare brands that are officially authorized to put the American flag (the Stars and Stripes) in the brand logo.

The AUTRY MEDALIST LOW has been reemerging as the fashion sneaker of choice for fashion insiders, fashionistas, and popular artists around the world.

Many of the most recent PittiWomo participants are also wearing Autry sneakers. Due to the nature of the PittiWomo event, many of the men wore them with a clean style, mainly dress items, but there were also some who wore them with a street-like style. Popular artists such as Jong-Guk of BTS and Lisa of BLACKPINK have been featured wearing these shoes, and celebrities in the U.S. have been wearing them on their feet when they wear high-brand clothes.

“Autry”: Reasons for the resurgence in popularity include the restructuring of classic models, upgrading of materials, and a shift to a more upscale line through selective sales channels.

Why is the popularity of “Autry” being rekindled with the 2019 relaunch? The key to its success can be said to be its re-launching of a high-end line based on the product design of classic models, such as the iconic “Medalist” model. while retaining the retro feel of 80’s sports shoes, the materials are of high quality & luxury, and the brand has been able to create a new style that is different from other sports brands. The sneakers have been updated with a mature look that differs from other sports brands. The elegant atmosphere that fits the current trend is a nice touch.
