Sneaker century

a history of athletic shoes

Edición de la obra Sneaker century

Sneakers, first invented in 1868, have profoundly influenced athletics, fashion, music, culture, and the global economy over the last century plus. Sneaker Century takes a look at these incredible shoes, from the earliest rubber version of the ancient world to Kanye's 90,000 Air Yeezy 2's. Readers will gather information and draw conclusions about the latest high-tech models, the global manufacture of sneakers, big money endorsements, and the political aspects of the sneaker world. Sneakers in the 1800s were just a canvas upper and a rubber sole. Today, athletic shoes are a multi-billion dollar industry. In this book, readers will analyze the history of sneakers and their impact on athletics, fashion, culture, and more.
