Sneakers as objects of design

Andrew Dutton’s photographic collection brings together 150 limited-edition, classic, and custom sneakers, including familiar styles such as the Air Force 1 and Chuck Taylor All Star. The images concentrate on each shoe’s form, texture, and color, treating footwear as a subject for visual study as well as fashion. The selection also includes named collaborations such as the Travis Scott Air Jordans and the N7 x Nike SB Dunk Low 1s. With photography rather than extended narrative as its organizing principle, the book offers a visual survey of sneaker design and its place across sport, streetwear, and culture.
