Out of the Box: The Rise of Sneaker Culture showcases breakthrough
sneaker's from the mid-nineteenth century for sports performance to
present day cultural icon. Drawn from collections including Adidas,
Nike, Reebok, PUMA, and Converse archives, as well as private
collectors such as those of hip-hop legend Run DMC, sneaker guru
Bobbito Garcia, and Dee Wells of Obsessive Sneaker Disorder. This
selection is richly contextualized with interviews and essays by
design innovators, sneaker collectors, and cultural historians,
creating a backdrop of the technical innovation, fashion trends,
social history, and marketing campaigns that shaped the form over
the past two centuries. Out of the Box includes iconic sneakers
ranging from an 1860 spiked running shoe, the replica track shoes
worn by Olympian Jesse Owens in Converse in 1936, the Air Jordan
series, and the original Air Force 1 and early Adidas Superstars to
contemporary examples designed by such prominent figures as Damien
Hirst, Christian Louboutin, and Kanye West, making this the
definitive illustrated history of sneaker culture
