Description
Every sneaker has a story to tell. From Nike Air Force 1s to the Chuck Taylor All Star, these kicks have gone from the courts to the streets, influencing both fashion and culture. In a tribute to their iconic silhouettes, photographer Andrew Dutton has captured the story of 150 limited-edition, classic, and custom sneakers by focusing solely on their form, texture, and colorway. Visually stunning and artistically fresh, The Art of the Sneaker is a collection of high-quality photographs essential for any sneakerhead, fashion designer, art enthusiast, or collector. Every page is a glimpse into a world of creative expression and visual storytelling that’s perfect for both display and inspiration. No long, convoluted narratives necessary—the sneakers speak for themselves.

Incredibly curated collection with beautiful photos. A visual love letter to sneakers, but really Nikes, and mainly Tinker’s designs.

As a non-sneaker head, this book was super interesting. The shoes were beautiful, vibrant, textural and the photography was equally beautiful and vibrant. I’ve not often seen the more colorful styles in real life, so this was an introduction to a different (for me) aspect of street style. I will definitely purchase this book for my library and look forward to the teens exploring the pages.
As a self proclaimed sneakerhead, I love this book. The images really capture the color and texture of each shoe design. The lighting and staging of the shoes really provide vivid images the creativity of each shoe. I'd like to know more about the designs and elements that went into making of each shoe but there are references to the name of each shoe available. There are interesting quotes throughout the book as well.. Overall, a beautiful book that would be perfect for the sneaker head art enthusiast in your life!
Love unique Sneakers, so Enjoyed Looking through this Book. The author has an interesting book as it features iconic sneakers and his photography of them. Sneakers are presented as Art and seeing all that goes into each pair come to appreciate them as such. Found the photography moved me. Fun to see how each pair reflects a different time, feeling, and experience.
Thank you NetGalley and Familius for a Copy of this Book. I always leave reviews of books I read.
