1492 Miles was a casual brand founded in 1997 by FnC Kolon. The "1492" in their name refers to the year of Christopher Columbus's first voyage to the Americas, while "miles" represents "the pioneering spirit of the explorer and the passion for travel and adventure of young people". The brand chiefly saw success in the 1990s and early 2000s, but eventually shut down in 2008 on account of declining sales.
