First introduced in 1944, The Center helped rewrite what a canvas sneaker could be. Before then, most canvas sneakers were flimsy. We changed that. Thanks to our roots in high-performance rubber tire manufacturing and the invention of the Posture Foundation insole, we built a canvas sneaker with staying power.
That same spirit lives on today in this bold black sneaker. It’s a durable, dependable, and endlessly wearable canvas sneaker that combines retro character with modern upgrades, helping it hold up wherever the day takes you.
