ISBN: 9781565844063.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSneakers have gone―seemingly overnight―from being childhood summer staples to serious athletic instruments to full-fledged lifestyle accoutrements, but the transition is hazy. Just when and why did America (and the world) go sneaker crazy?\nThe Sneaker Book is an entertaining, informative look at this fascinating, $11-billion-a-year industry. How (and by whom) are sneakers made? Where does your money go when you buy a pair? Who are the companies behind the logos? Why is Nike heralded by economists and lampooned by Doonesbury?\nJammed full of facts, figures, cartoons by Garry Trudeau and Mark Alan Stamaty, and literary excerpts about sneakers from Tom Wolfe, Paul Beatty, Leslie Savan, Spike Lee, Ray Bradbury, and many more, The Sneaker Book swooshes past the hype, puts the numbers on the table, and takes a fresh look at familiar―if unexamined―footwear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"New Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45116180070453,"sku":"ByrdShop_1565844068","price":59.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781565844063_5f6c5191-58ae-41d0-a94d-82e523251d82.jpg?v=1779911508","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-sneaker-book-anatomy-of-an-industry-and-an-icon-bazaar-book-9781565844063","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
