Founded in Dallas, Texas, in 1982, Autry initially gained fame for its performance-driven athletic footwear, with its 'Medalist' sneaker being named the best tennis shoe by Tennis Magazine in 1985. Known as 'the shoe with the American flag,' the brand became a staple in North America before fading into obscurity after the death of its founder, Jim Autry. In 2019, the dormant brand was revived by a trio of Italian entrepreneurs—Alberto Raengo, Marco Doro, and Gino Zarelli—who saw potential in its rich heritage.
