Abstract

" Les sneakers sont bien plus que des chaussures dédiées aux sports ou aux loisirs. Elles sont les fétiches qui cimentent une communauté : celle des sneakerheads. Ces passionnés ont créé une sous-culture autour d'elles, au sein même de la culture hip-hop. La sociologue Yuniya Kawamura a bâti son livre au carrefour de plusieurs disciplines et thématiques : l'anthropologie, l'histoire, la technique, la communication, la marchandisation, la mode, le genre ou encore la jeunesse. Elle y décèle l'ensemble de la dynamique qui a fait passer les sneakers de la marginalité du Bronx à la culture de masse mondialisée. "Je suis ce que je porte à mes pieds", dit un membre de la sous-culture. Taille haute ou basse, épurées ou bariolées, ces chaussures peuvent exercer une emprise sur leur porteur, lui conférer un statut, mais aussi être revendues pour une somme extravagante. Les sneakers sont un mythe contemporain. Ce livre est la première étude universitaire nous invitant à en suivre les aventures. "

Abstract

"This is the first academic study of sneakers and the subculture that surrounds them. Since the 1980s, members of American sneaker subcultures, popularly known as "sneakerheads" or "sneakerholics", have created a distinctive identity for themselves, while sneaker manufacturers such as Reebok, Puma and Nike have become global fashion brands. How have sneakers come to gain this status and what makes them attractive? In what ways are sneaker subcultures bound up with gender identity and why are sneakerholics mostly men? Based on the author's own ethnographic fieldwork in New York, where sneaker subculture is said to have originated, this unique study traces the transformation of sneakers from sportswear to fashion symbol. Sneakers explores the obsessions and idiosyncrasies surrounding the sneaker phenomenon, from competitive subcultures to sneaker painting and artwork. It is a valuable contribution to the growing study of footwear in fashion studies and will appeal to students of fashion theory, gender studies, sociology and popular culture"--

Abstract

Every Sneaker Story Worth Telling!A 15-year anthology of cult magazine Sneaker FreakerBack in 2002, Simon ?Woody? Wood was dreaming up schemes to get free sneakers. Two weeks later, he was the proud owner of Sneaker Freaker and his life was never the same.From its early roots as a punk-style fanzine to today?s super-slick print and online operations, the fiercely independent publication has documented every collab, custom, limited edition, retro reissue, Quickstrike, Hyperstrike, and Tier Zero sneaker released over the last 15 years.Woody?s original premise that Sneaker Freaker would be ?funny and serious, meaningful and pointless at the same time? has certainly been vindicated in The Ultimate Sneaker Book. With more than 650 pages jam-packed with insider knowledge and his own irreverent observations, the insane historical detail and otaku-level minutiae is beyond obsessive.Traversing 100 years of history, each chapter paints a rollicking picture of the sneaker industry?s evolution. Air Max, Air Force, Adi Dassler, Converse, Kanye, Dapper Dan, Dee Brown, Michael Jordan, and Yeezy?along with obscure treasures like Troop, Airwalk, and Vision Street Wear?are all exhaustively documented.This is a definitive source of knowledge. This is?

Abstract

"Nike is one of the most popular sports apparel brands on the market. But before it grew to the worldwide success it is today, the brand started in Oregon with a college track and field coach, a wild idea, and a waffle iron. This title introduces fans to the history of one of the most iconic brands in sports."--
