Future Sneakers

The world of independent sneaker designs
Future Sneakers is a fascinating dive into the shape to sneakers to come.

A new movement is happening in the world of sneakers. Collectors are seeking shoes made by brave, new, innovative and importantly, independent manufacturers. Future Sneakers documents a shift in how shoes are designed, made and valued. The focus is returning to the craft of construction, materials, performance and intent.

Featuring 100 different designs, from 30 manufacturers in 15 different countries across the world, this book follows the creatives, studios, and emerging labels who approach footwear as a design discipline. Hundreds of meticulously photographed shoes, prototypes, and process details celebrate the sneaker as an object shaped by craft, technology, sustainability and use. Trail and outdoor designs sit alongside experimental manufacturing, each offering a distinct response to a key need. Interviews and conversations trace the stories behind these projects, from development constraints and production choices to the question of longevity. Studio photography, and ephemera place the shoes within a broader cultural field.
