The All-American

The All-American

In 1958, we made history by becoming the first sneaker brand to sign a pro athlete: Boston Celtics legend Bob Cousy. That partnership didn’t just put P.F. Flyers on the map, it redefined what a canvas sneaker could be. A cornerstone of P.F. Flyers history, The All-American pays tribute to the golden age of basketball and to the sneaker that changed the game forever.

Before we came along, canvas sneakers weren’t taken seriously. They were too flimsy for the hardwood, too soft for serious play. The All-American flipped that perception with innovations like our patented Posture Foundation wedge, delivering enhanced support, durability, and court-ready performance. Suddenly, canvas had bite, and Cousy had a sneaker that could keep up with his game-changing finesse.

Today, The All-American is a symbol of legacy, innovation, and everyday style. Our high-tops and low-tops are rooted in sport, built for versatility, and elevated with vintage-inspired details. With mid-century-inspired colors like Sea Salt, Antique White, and Vintage Green, these canvas shoes bring court heritage to your everyday fit.

Available in sub-collections like Clubhouse 1937 and Classic Americana, The All-American is retro with purpose, made to move in the modern world.
