Perennial must-have

Before focusing on shoes, the legendary Tretorn brand got its start as a tire manufacturer in 1891. After pivoting to focus on footwear, the company became a leading name in tennis shoes. Today, the Tretorn lineup ranges from velvet high tops to faux fur-lined rain boots to the label's iconic—and perennial must-have—canvas Nylite sneakers.
