If there's not a sneaker brand that suits your needs, create one. That's what running enthusiast Bob Gamm did in 1979 when he launched what new brand that was popular throughout the '80s?

Gamm was upset because there were no sneaker brands that allowed him to carry small things in them, such as keys or money. So he created sneakers with pockets and called them KangaRoos. He marketed them so well that he sold over 700,000 pairs a month by the early 1980s.
