Legendary ‘socialistic’ sneakers Croatian Startas shoes.
Startas had their brightest moment in 1987 during the Universiade in Zagreb, call it youth sport games or student’s Olympic Games. A complete recognition happened back then because, for that occasion, almost 3.500 athletes from around the globe, worn Startas – originally designed only for the table tennis team.
The production of Startas sneakers started in 1976 in Eastern Croatia, more precisely in the small city of Borovo near Vukovar. The shoe factory was first owned by the Bata Company, but nationalized after the Second World War and renamed in Borovo.
