The history of Avia Shoes dates bake to 1979. It was then that American businessman Jerry Stubblefield set up the footwear company located in Oregon. Jerry Stubblefield and his son Don Stubblefield created new shoe designs for sports shoes. Thanks to their innovations such as the widely-imitated cantilever sole, the Avia brand has become the leader in sports shoe industry.
As early as 1987 the company was bought by Reebok and later on, in the late 1990s, it was acquired by American Sporting Goods Corporation. The name of the shoe brand means in Latin “to fly”. Well, let’s fly together with Avia shoes.
Avia manufactures lines of female walking and aerobics shoes and athletic footwear for men. Among Avia clients there are Scottie Pippen, John Stockton, and Clyde Drexler. Their choice is clear, Avia is known worldwide for its performance, durability and comfort.
Avia manufactures shoes according to the latest technologies. The most famous of them are the Cantilever Heel (heel support), the ARC - Anatomical Rebound Cradle (comprehensive foot cushioning and arch support), and Avia's FOM technology (shock compression).
From the very beginning, the aim of Avia manufacturers was to provide serious shoes for professional athletes. They have achieved the aim and gained world popularity, but they keep going forward to meet the need of their customers.
