In 1914 a man named Morris Goldenberg started his dream company, Brooks Sports, Inc..
Brooks is a privately held company that manufactures high performance shoes and apparel, specifically for runners.
In the beginning Brooks manufactured bathing shoes. After that they began producing cleats for baseball (1920) and then cleats for football in the 1930s.
Nowadays Brooks has its' headquarters in Bothell in Washington. It is one of the few large scale athletic apparel and shoe companies still operating predominantly from the USA, rather than overseas.
Brooks apparel and shoes have been endorsed by many well known athletes. One of the most famouse examples would be Dan Marino, who did so in 1984.
