Sneaker Obsession by Alexandre Pauwels

Sneaker Obsession is a book with a comprehensive illustrated history of the sneaker that covers everything from athletic wear to street style, Run-DMC to Travis Scott, Reebok to Nike Air Force 1, and limited editions to sustainability. The stories behind the brands, designers, and sneakerheads that transformed athletic footwear into a cultural phenomenon unfold in this epic volume. From its early twentieth-century origins as a sporting shoe to the thrill of seeing Michael Jordan's high-tops on the court, to the swagger and style of hip-hop footwear, the sneaker has become a status marker.
