Creative Recreation was officially launched in Orange Country, California in the Fall of 2002. The three founders of Creative Recreation noticed a huge void in the footwear market. Everyone was offering either dress shoes to be worn with a suit or athletic-inspired sneakers that were not acceptable at many of the functions for their lifestyle. No one was offering footwear to young professionals with style.

They soon discovered being successful in this generation did not require wearing a suit and tie. This generation is in more control of their destiny and their careers, and has become known for its entrepreneurial drive. Along with this control came the freedom of fashion in the workplace and in other social settings.

Working with these realizations, the three founders set out to design shoes that they wanted to wear. By sampling the best aspects from other footwear categories, they have incorporated the comfort of an athletic sneaker combined with the materialization of a dress shoe to create the ultimate crossbreed.

Creative Recreation: Characterized by originality and imagination, a refreshment of one’s mind or body through activity that amuses and stimulates play.
