...Stan Smith-style sneaker with croc trim. At the menswear shows in Paris, meanwhile, Louis Vuitton featured tennis whites as a major theme. Over at Wimbledon, where tennis was actually being played, Venus Williams was serving up her new look on Centre Court: a Diane Von Furstenberg-designed Reebok tennis dress with corsetlike lacing up the back.

The point is to find something that works for you. "Basically, all you really need is a mat and a floor," says Miriam Nelson, an exercise scientist at Tufts University and author of the Strong Women series.

...success has inspired big players like Nike and Reebok--and smaller wholesalers like G-III, based in New York City, and Majestic, of Bangor, Pa.--to produce their own throwbacks. Pro-sports leagues now regularly outfit teams in retro gear during games just for kicks. Moreover, M&N joins the ranks of firms--from Louis Roederer champagne (maker of Cristal) to Timberland boots--that have flourished once an urban, largely African-American audience embraced them.
