Introduction by Bobbito Garcia, author Elizabeth Semmelhack, foreword by Emanuele Lepri and Pauline Willis, contributions by Tinker Hatfield.

A groundbreaking traveling exhibition, Out of the Box, showcases sneakers, from the mid-nineteenth century, to breakthroughs in sports performance, to contemporary cultural icons. This selection comes from the collection of the Bata Shoe Museum and major private collectors, museums and archives, including adidas AG, Converse Archives, Kosow Sneaker Museum, Nike Archives, Northampton Museums and Art Gallery and Reebok Archives.

Interviews and essays by design innovators, sneaker collectors and cultural historians, creating a backdrop to the technical innovation, fashion trends, social history and marketing campaigns that have shaped the form over the past two centuries.

Out of the Box includes sneakers ranging from a spiked running shoe from 1860, a pair of training shoes from 1936, Air Jordans I-XX3, the original Air Force 1 and early Adidas Superstars to contemporary sneakers from prominent figures such as Damien Hirst, Jeremy Scott, Jeff Staple and Kanye West. The book also highlights sneakers and prototype drawings that span the career of Nike sneaker design legend Tinker Hatfield, making this the definitive illustrated history of sneaker culture.
