Description: The G.R. Kinney Company was an American manufacturer and retailer of shoes from 1894 until September 16, 1998. The shoe concern was started by George Romanta Kinney, whose father ran a general store in rural Candor, New York. In 1894, at the age of 28, Kinney had saved enough to purchase a Lester retail outlet in Waverly, New York. Kinney succeeded by selling affordably priced shoes to working Americans, and by 1936, Kinney Shoes was the largest family shoe retailer chain in America, with 335 stores operating nationwide. In 1977, Kenney introduced their line of basketball shoes with a splashy campaign with a very '70s vibe, offering versions featuring Caucasian and African American basketball players dunking the ball.
