About KangaROOS
1979...it all starts here. The jogging craze is sweeping the States and a guy named Bob Gamm needs a place to store his keys and change while he's out for his daily jog. As necessity is the mother of invention, Gamm came up with a design for an athletic shoe with a small zippered pocket.
The KangaROOS shoe was born.
Life was good in the ’80s. Kids were cruising around blasting their boom box, listening to Madonna, Duran Duran and Culture Club. Pac Man, Donkey Kong and Froggy were the popular games at the arcade. Hair was big and some items were just plain essentials: leg warmers, shoulder pads and of course you had to have your KangaROOS. The brand was one of the top 10 US brands in the ’80s and was the first to offer runners a real sports technology - the NASA tested Dynacoil cushioning system. KangaROOS footwear began appearing on a number of high profile U.S. sports stars like baseball's Ron Darling, basketball superstar Clyde "the Glide" Drexler and Chicago Bears legend Walter Payton.
Through the ’90s KangaROOS had gained such a strong following that it began to widen its product offering. It started to introduce apparel and footwear collections for the leisure, outdoor and fashion markets and blazed a trail through Europe and beyond.
With over 30 years of history and credibility, KangaROOS are on the verge of a population explosion. Available in over 50 countries, KangaROOS shoes continue to offer a diverse range of directional styles fusing fashion, color, comfort and style - ever inspired by their roots in authentic performance.
From classic kicks to sleek new racers every shoe still has a pocket. The brand is about an attitude, not a specific age or demographic, and is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.

KangaROOS Reviews
At first glance, the new Magnolias don't look the same as the ones from a couple years ago. I'm not sure if the new fabric will last as long (they also didn't come with a 2nd pair of laces). However, they still fit well and are Kangaroos- the most comfortable sneakers I've ever found! They're wide enough and cushiony and supportive.
I ordered these at 2:53pm, they were at my doorstep by the time I got home at 5pm the next day. Amazing.
I love these shoes! They were a little tight, so I would suggest going a half-size larger, but they are comfortable and look great!
This was my 4th pair of ROOS & I love them. It only took 2 1/2 days to get them from when I ordered them. The pink and purple are brighter than in the picture but I love the colors. They are so comfy and the only tennis shoes I will wear. They fit my feet perfectly but I have narrow feet. The only thing I didn't like was the pocket is smaller then all my other ones and I had to buy a pair of purple laces because I didn't like the white with them. As long as ROOS keep making shoes like this I'll buy them.
It's so cool to know that this shoe has a small pouch like an actual kangaroo. I can put my money in there when I go out to somewhere or when I go to school.
I own so many sneakers, and these are the most comfortable. I wish there were more color options for these Magnolia Roos. I'll be waiting for more. The black/white ones are very sharp, and I own the orange/grey ones as well. Normally, I wear orthotics with sneakers but these have plenty of arch support. I can be on my feet all day and not think twice about it wearing these. love them. Highly recommend grabbing a pair, or two.
I love these shoes! They fit true to size and they are very comfy. I am going to get them in pink too, have them in black.
Absolutely love these shoes! This takes me back to the 3rd grade when I kept my lunch money in the pockets...just wish lunch still cost $1.25. The shoe strings were a bit too long so I had to replace them, but that's my only complaint.
I love the nostalgia of these shoes; however, both shoes began to fall apart at the seams (literally) after about 2 weeks of wear. If you don't care about them looking abused after less than a month's wear, by all means. If you would like to wear them as everyday shoes, I could not recommend them as the proud owner of a pair.
I loved the style, but it didn't feel that there was a lot of comfort/give in the sole. These may be good for guys who like a firm foot bed/soul.
As a six year old in 1985 I had a pair of these same exact shoes and they have not changed to this day. I bought a pair and love them! In my opinion they are more comfortable than any popular air shoes, but they have the same look as they did in '85. Also, Zappos worked well for me...received my shoes quick.
Love the look and arch support, but this is the tightest 10.5 I have ever worn. Not hugely comfortable beyond that.
Comfortable fit. The "burgundy" colors on sides were more pink than the red they appeared in the item photos.
Seemed a little stiff at first (but I'm sure that was just that I forgot that new shoe feeling!) but by the 2nd day they felt fantastic. I have wide feet and find them very comfortable. Also my back doesn't get as sore if I'm doing a lot of walking. This is my 2nd pair of Roos and I have to say I think I've found my favorite brand.
Love these shoes, but I did have to return original order for a larger size. Zappos was amazing with their customer service.
Love me some ROOS. I got these for a hip hop class and they'll be perfect. Super cute and retro and very comfortable.
These shoes feel like pillows and are excellent for walking or running; super comfortable.
It was my first time purchasing from Zappos. I got the shoe very fast, and the shoe is very cute. It is very light and bright in colors. Thank you!
Good fit; very comfortable. Onlything I didn't like was the extra wide laces that are hard to pull throught he holes. Laos the laces were bright white which is weird against the dark shoe. I changed them out for a thinner pair of dark color laces laces and am much happier.
These were my first online shoe purchase and I have to say I am pretty happy with them. Sweet color scheme and I can't count the compliments I have gotten. Thanks Zaps for a solid purchase and a solid shoe!
