Avia made its name as a leading brand in the 1980s for its line of women's walking and aerobics shoes, as well as men's shoes. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Avia had a thriving line of basketball shoes; among those who wore Avia were Scottie Pippen , John Stockton , John Salley , A. C. Green , Clyde Drexler and Robert Parish . [ 11 ]
The shoe was a great success, being used by the Finnish Olympic team, being praised by Arthur Lydiard, who called them "the best training shoe in the world". [4] A new name change came in 1972 to "Karhu-Titan", reflecting its strong ice hockey equipment brands Titan (sticks), Koho (protective and goaltender equipment) and Jofa (helmets). [8]
The men's and women's versions of each shoe model are built using gender-specific templates to accommodate anatomical differences. Altra calls this Fit4Her on the lady's side and is the only running shoe brand to do a female-specific fit line wide. [10]
