Sneakers haven't been considered the tools of exclusively sportsmen and women in a long time. From the runway to the track, sneakers have crept their way firmly into our lives and it looks like they're here to stay. Now in its fifth edition, this comprehensive and highly illustrated edition of Sneakers spans over 300 shoes, while also giving advice on shoe care and maintenance.

This anthology pays homage to the cultural phenomenon that is the sneaker, from Adidas Superstars to Nike Air Max. With over 600 high quality photographs, Sneakers explores some of the world's most iconic shoes and the incredible stories behind them.
