Naming

During the initial stages of my research, I found out the fundamental meaning behind the name "Sneakers," comes from the rubber sole which is extremely quiet and used for sneak to the tennis courts unhindered. "Sneak," it's a simple and memorable name that immediately conveys what the business is all about. The name also has a bit of a youthful and edgy vibe, which could appeal to a younger demographic.
