[citation needed] Tisza Cipő (Hungarian for Tisza Shoe) is a brand of Hungarian sports shoes that exists since Communist era, and has made a resurgence in recent years as a hip new fashion brand in that country.

After the war, the factory suffered many losses, for instance; wooden treaded shoes were manufactured instead of the rubber ones.

For instance, from May 1971 the German Adidas manufactured its football shoes called La Paz in the Tisza factory.

In July 1970, the gym shoes which sole were made of PVC won the excellent product prize.

For instance, the French ADIDAS signed a multi-year contract with them and the factory's production appeared on the English market.

[3] The Clash company also wants to have Tisza trademark to remain pure Hungarian, therefore, the shoes are produced only in Hungary, although the cost of production is very expensive.

The idea of the whole business came from a young, talented, Hungarian man, László Vidák, who was also an importer of a very popular shoe in Hungary a couple of years ago.

The company factory has made a unique move away from traditional shoe shops and sells its products only in its own specialty stores.

[8] The shoes' popularity was helped by the fact that they were worn by celebrities such as Pedro Pascal, which got nationwide attention that year.

[9] In 2024 Tisza had a collaboration with a Hungarian popstar Azahriah,[10] where people reportedly waited in line for 15 hours in rain for the shoe.
