Description

This book comprehensively showcases sneakers through time from early Air Jordans, the original Air Force 1, and Adidas Superstars to iconic recent designs by pop culture figures like Kanye West and cool fashion designers like Yohji Yamamoto and Martin Margiela–a visual history of the world’s most coveted and popular footwear, from early Keds and Converse All Stars to the recent fashion and design icons. Each and every sneaker has a story to inform, and this encyclopedic book features 1,000 full-color images of the sneakers that have most influenced global sneaker culture with examples to engage sneaker aficionados of all stripes. Trainers, tennis shoes, kicks—no matter what you call them, the sneaker has risen to global popularity with an enormous international audience clamoring for the rarest, the recent, or the reissued classics. Each and every angle is covered—throwbacks and new shoes alike—with legendary sneakers, groundbreaking designs, and technical advancements, in addition to the athletes and celebrities who made the shoe famous. Included are the Adidas Jabbar, the Puma Clyde, the Nike Air Force 1, the Reebok Question, the Nike Zoom Kobe IV, and lots of others from acknowledged classics, along side less remembered styles worthy of recognition, such as the Royal Master Pro-Keds or the Sk8 High Vans, and one-of-a-kind limited releases like the 1971 Kareem-Abdul-Jabbar Adidas. 1000 Sneakers features detailed reference sections for collectors, histories of leading brands and designers, and anecdotes from the worlds of sports, fashion, hip-hop, and popular culture, making this book the easiest gift for sports, design, and street fashion enthusiasts alike.
