Sneaker Century: A History of Athletic Shoes

Amber Keyser

Sneaker Century: A History of Athletic Shoes The history of sneakers is anything but boring. Learn about the feud between brothers that lead to the creation of rival sneaker companies, how endorsement deals put sneakers on the map, what it really costs to manufacture a sneaker, and how companies use teenagers to make shoes cool (and then make them too expensive for teenagers to keep up with the trend they started).
