Art & Sole
By Zio
Art & Sole: Contemporary Sneaker Art & Design sets out to explore and celebrate the creative side of sneaker culture, showing the best and most original rarities/collaborations and previewing the latest art and design. These shoes are at the sharp end of sneaker culture—not shoes that can be found in your average sports shop. The book highlights how a growing number of artists base their work on sneakers— from sculptures made from dissected shoes, to oil paintings on canvas, and even the customization of the shoes themselves. Among the top brands in the book are Nike, Adidas and Puma. Featured designers/artists include Futura, Kidrobot, Dalek and Mister Cartoon.
