THE AMAZING WORLD OF KangaROOS SNEAKERS!

WRESTLING & BASEBALL

Major League Baseball standouts Ozzie Smith, Vince Coleman and Ron Darling were also among the pros plying their trade in ROOS gear, as was NBA legend Clyde ‘The Glide’ Drexler, who could be found flying through the clouds rocking the ROOS during his days as a Portland Trail Blazer. The brand’s influence also extended into the World Wrestling Federation arena, where Rick ‘The Dog Faced Gremlin’ Steiner, brother of Scott Steiner, was notorious for performing his Double-leg Takedown and German Suplex on opponents whilst dressed in bright red, knee-high ROOS.

220 pounds of burly moustache off the top turnbuckle was quite a formidable marketing device to have at your own disposal!

And if all of the above didn’t resonate, peerless Olympic runners such as John Walker and Ray Flynn were on board, as well as various athletes from motor racing, tennis and aerobics. As their catch phrase from the era stated, ‘Come to KangaROOS world!’ and the pro athletes did, like teenage moths to a Jonas Brothers flame.
