Is it true that 'daps' is actually short for Dunlop Air Products? Or have I fallen for it, hook, line and sinker?

One folk etymology that doesn’t work, however, is deriving daps as an acronym from the factory name “Dunlop Athletic Plimsoles,” as Dunlop did not take over the original manufacturer, the Liverpool Rubber Company, until 1925, fifteen years after the first mention in Cardiff.
