1971: Bill Bowerman, head track coach at the University of Oregon, pours rubber into a waffle iron to create a lighter sole-the basis for all Nike sneakers.
1981: Sean Penn, as Jeff Spicoli popularizes Vans slip-ons in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
1982: Japanese shoe designer Onitsuka Tiger, creates a shoe specifically for the competitive sport of Tug of War.
