Have you always been obsessed with every pair of sneakers you possess? Do you find your face pushed up against the glass when you pass Foot Locker, and will we find gym socks between your sheets? If this is you, The Art of Sneakers has your name all over it.
Sneaker culture is one of the most dynamic forces in the world. It courses through the zeitgeist via fashion, sports, music, and especially art. While they might just be a means to an end for you, creators operating in a wide range of mediums – from sculpture and graphic design to origami and food – have been inspired by footwear fandom.
Your next coffee table book, The Art of Sneakers, published by PowerHouse Books, shines a light on the next-level creativity springing from the Jordan generation and is a celebration of sneaker art and artists. One artist deconstructs the most sought-after, exclusive sneakers in the world and turns them into dizzyingly intricate masks. Another uses nothing more than pencil, paper, and an insane amount of patience to create stunning, photorealistic drawings of her favourite shoes. Yet another takes shoeboxes and cuts them into hundreds of pieces, shaping them into something like life-size cardboard taxidermy. With all the incredible offerings, this book brings together an unparalleled celebration of sneaker culture and the incredible art inspired by the movement.
The Art of Sneakers is presented by snkrINC, a media brand representing global sneaker culture. A stunning work of art in and of itself, the coffee table collector’s book is meant to serve as an inspiration for all artists, present and future, to make something beautiful from their passions.
