ART & SOLE: CONTEMPORARY SNEAKER DESIGN is an amazing book that focuses exclusively on contemporary sneaker design and culture. Celebrating the creative side of sneaker culture, it shows the best and most original rarities/collaborations and previews the latest art and design.
The book also highlights the growing number of artists and designers who base their work on sneakers—from sculptures made from dissected shoes, to oil paintings on canvas, and even the customization of the shoes themselves.
Visual communication magazine Creative Review have posted a great preview of ART & SOLE on their blog. Featuring an interview with Nathan Gale of the graphic design studio Intercity who put the book together and an awesome collection of great of images from the book.
ART & SOLE is published next month
