Autry's roots date back to the mid-1980s, when brothers Mike and Tom Autry opened their first shoe store on New York City's bustling St. Mark's Place. Their initial focus was on tennis shoes, but their talent for design and quality quickly brought success and recognition. Soon after, Autry expanded to new locations and expanded its offerings to other sports such as basketball, soccer and baseball. Tennis Magazine voted the “Medalist” the best shoe in 1985 and Runner's World awarded the “Jetstreamers” model a full five stars. Autry has been back since 2019 and immediately triggered a hype.

Autry's Roots
The roots of Autry trace back to the mid-1980s when brothers Mike and Tom Autry opened their first shoe store on bustling St. Mark's Place in New York City. Initially focused on tennis shoes, their talent for design and quality quickly brought success and recognition. Soon after, Autry expanded to new locations and broadened its offerings to other sports such as basketball, soccer, and baseball. The Tennis Magazine named the "Medalist" the best shoe in 1985, and Runner's World awarded the "Jetstreamers" model a full five stars. Since 2019, Autry has made a comeback, immediately sparking hype.
Iconic Models
One of the highlights of Autry's history was undoubtedly the introduction of the Autry Medalist model in 1989. These shoes, worn by high school athletes and trendsetters alike, embodied the spirit of the time and became a symbol of performance and style.
Autry Reimagined
Decades may have passed since Autry first entered the fashion world, but its DNA, its essence, its unmistakable pioneering spirit, is as alive today as ever. Driven by the passion to continue the legacy of this iconic brand, a group of friends, including Alberto Raengo and Régis Billard, decided to relaunch Autry. Inspired by classic retro designs and powered by the latest technologies, the new Autry since 2019 is a tribute to the past, embedded in the modern.
Sporty Minimalism
The heritage of Autry is alive not only in its products but also in the people it represents. Bob Lutz, a legendary tennis player who won a total of 54 titles and 5 Grand Slams in doubles, was one of these individuals. His passion for sports and style made him a natural ally of Autry, and four decades later, he enthusiastically supported the brand's reintroduction. Today, Autry presents itself with a collection that harmonizes heritage and innovation. From sneakers made of high-quality lamb and nubuck leather to a complete ready-to-wear collection radiating sporty minimalism, Autry offers products of the highest quality and unmistakable style.
Vintage Charm
Autry sneakers are more than just shoes; they are a statement, an expression of style and individuality. Each pair is crafted with artisanal precision to convey a true vintage vibe. From perforated toe caps to padded ankle areas, every detail reflects the care and attention that goes into each Autry product. But Autry is more than just a shoe brand; it is a way of life, an expression of freedom and adventurous spirit. From the bustling streets of New York City to the endless expanses of the American West, Autry embodies the spirit of American pioneers always moving towards new horizons. In a world characterized by mass production and disposable culture, Autry stands for quality, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance.
Medalist
The most famous model is undoubtedly Autry's "Medalist." With the relaunch of the brand, this iconic model also returned. The sneakers are particularly characterized by their platform sole and colored details, embodying the ultimate retro look that is more popular today than ever before.
Dallas
With the "Dallas" model, Autry brings the 80s look into the present day. The smooth leather, the contrasting sole and heel, and of course, the typical "Stripes and Stars" logo create the typical Autry look.
