The Wall Street Journal reports on how your favorite sneakers got their names. Because that's what you count on from the Wall Street Journal. Hard-hitting pop culture and fashion history.

What I've wondered is how the shoes in general came to be known as sneakers. I guess because they don't provide the clip-clop sound of a traditional heel-toe shoe, thus someone could sneak up on you.
