10 years after the moon landing Boston architect & athletic enthusiast Bob Gamm invented a sneaker with a pocket to store keys in whilst running his morning route. When searching for a proper shock absorption system, Bob came across DYNACOIL and was fascinated straight away. The tubular nylon fabric was developed by NASA for the Apollo space program and used for shock absorption in the astronauts' suits and boots – even during the moon landings! Bob decided to refine it for the use in KangaROOS’ midsoles.
