SNEAKERS

From a London and Paris-based team of sneaker enthusiasts, who are also graphic designers and moving-image makers, comes this stunning tribute to the shoe that has, become a global obsession. With contributions from celebrity musicians, athletes, teen idols, moguls, sneaker designers and enthusiasts from Kansas to Tokyo, Sneakers offers a freeze-frame storyboard of this social phenomenon, including issues such as criminality, exploitation, and fashion. To contact sneaker freaks worldwide, the authors surfed the net- and discovered parallel themes: global communication, technology, and obsessive behavior. The resulting design is innovative: a book-as-internet-site. First time in paperback.
