Historia
The brand originated from John Boyd Dunlop’s 1888 invention of the pneumatic tire. This technological advancement led to the production of rubber-based footwear, most notably the Green Flash tennis shoe introduced in 1933. Dunlop played a significant role in fashion history by transitioning athletic gear into mainstream casual attire. Its footwear became a cultural staple within the 1990s Britpop movement, bridging the gap between professional sports equipment and street fashion.
