The definitive book about the creations, career and legacy of one of the world's greatest sneaker designers.
Often called the father of modern running and basketball sneakers, Jacques Chassaing shaped and influenced sports and street fashion like few designers ever will. For the first time, Chassaing reveals the story behind the forty-year career of a groundbreaking designer who continually pushed boundaries and led the creation of many of the world's most beloved sneakers.
Chassaing stimulates and provokes readers with his life experiences and takes them on a journey of constant evolution and revolution. We learn about those who inspired him and meet those he inspired. We discover what drove his design philosophy and the process behind some of the best sneakers and sports tech ever created: the Forum, Rivalry, Lendl, Edberg, ZX series, Predator, EQT line, Torsion and his Porsche Design collaborations, to just to name a few. And we see how Chassaing's designs have influenced modern culture and won a place at the feet and in the hearts of millions of people.
This book features stories and contributions from athletes, celebrities and designers who have worked with and been influenced by Chassaing and his work, including Michael Jordan, Stefan Edberg, Patrick Ewing, Run DMC, Gary Aspden, Paul Gaudio and many more.
Art directed by Peter Moore, designer of the Nike Air Jordan 1 and creator of the adidas Originals line, From Soul to Sole is a story, a statement, an experience and a celebration of a life and career that continues to influence how we think about sneakers and street fashion design today.
