1979...it all starts here. The jogging craze is sweeping the States and a guy named Bob Gamm needs a place to store his keys and change while he's out for his daily jog. As necessity is the mother of invention, Gamm came up with a design for an athletic shoe with a small zippered pocket.

The KangaROOS shoe was born.

Life was good in the ’80s. Kids were cruising around blasting their boom box, listening to Madonna, Duran Duran and Culture Club. Pac Man, Donkey Kong and Froggy were the popular games at the arcade. Hair was big and some items were just plain essentials: leg warmers, shoulder pads and of course you had to have your KangaROOS. The brand was one of the top 10 US brands in the ’80s and was the first to offer runners a real sports technology - the NASA tested Dynacoil cushioning system. KangaROOS footwear began appearing on a number of high profile U.S. sports stars like baseball's Ron Darling, basketball superstar Clyde "the Glide" Drexler and Chicago Bears legend Walter Payton.

Through the ’90s KangaROOS had gained such a strong following that it began to widen its product offering. It started to introduce apparel and footwear collections for the leisure, outdoor and fashion markets and blazed a trail through Europe and beyond.

With over 30 years of history and credibility, KangaROOS are on the verge of a population explosion. Available in over 50 countries, KangaROOS shoes continue to offer a diverse range of directional styles fusing fashion, color, comfort and style - ever inspired by their roots in authentic performance.

From classic kicks to sleek new racers every shoe still has a pocket. The brand is about an attitude, not a specific age or demographic, and is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.

Take your sense of style and comfort to the next level with a fresh pair of KangaROOS shoes. Whether you're looking for KangaROOS men's shoes, KangaROOS women's shoes, or KangaROOS kid's shoes, Zappos.com has got you covered!

I love these shoes! KangaROOS fit my narrow feet super well, and they are cute and super comfy. The only downside was the back on the shoe rubbed against my Achilles for the first few times. Since then great!

This is my first Combat but maybe my 4th KangaROOS shoes. I love them. They are retro without looking silly. I got the black/gold/purple pair. Very subdued but nice. Roos always seem extremely well supportive. I never need my orthotics with them. Two thumbs up!

I'd also recommend: Asics, Nike, Adidas

Love these shoes. They bring back great memories and I love showing I'm an 80's kid. They are pretty stiff though and not as comfy as I recall when I was a kid but that was a long time ago.

The arch support felt too far forward on my foot. I prefer shoes with squishy soles. These felt too firm for me. If you like firmer soles, you may like these shoes.

Love them! Anyone who grew up in the '80s most likely had a pair of these. I bought them for my sister as a great retro fun look! She loves them and always finds a reason to wear them. The only problem is that they do not make them in my size. I really wish that I could sport a pair.

I'd also recommend: Saucony, New Balance
