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.

P.F. Flyers All-American Sneakers

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.
