The Autry Brand
The American brand Autry is a well-known brand among vintage sneaker enthusiasts. Founded in the 1980s, the brand was particularly popular on the tennis court and was often linked to former tennis player Bob Lutz - who also received his own silhouette.
After a twenty-year break, the brand made a comeback in 2019 and since then they have been impossible to imagine the streets without.
In particular, models like the Medalist, Dallas and Super Vintage are incredibly popular.
Fun fact: The American flag can be found on every Autry silhouette.
Autry Design
On first glance, Autry's sneakers seem to hold a fairly basic design. Yet the models were very progressive at the time.
The sneakers were designed with careful craftsmanship, with uppers made of high-quality leather and sleek details all over the silhouette.
Perforated sides and streamlined overlays give models like the Super Vintage, Medalist and Dallas a timeless look.

The History of Autry
Autry's story starts in 1982 in Dallas, America. Jim Autry was looking for sneakers suitable for the tennis court. Lacking suitable shoes, Autry came up with his own sneaker; the Medalist.
The sneaker had a sleek look and used high-quality leather. The Medalist excelled in its simplicity and was voted the best tennis shoe in 1985. The American flag appeared on the upper - a feature that Autry sneakers can still be recognised by to this day.
After Jim Autry passed away, there was no one to take over from him and Autry disappeared off the radar. In 2019, the brand was picked up by Italian Marco Doro and his two business partners Gino Zarrelli and Alberto Raengo. The goal was to continue Autry's legacy - without modifying the sneakers' signature look.
The result speaks for itself, with the Autry models remaining close to their 1980s aesthetic. The American flag is still present on the silhouette, even though that the three new owners have Italian roots.
