Reviews
"A gorgeous book, as innovative and essential as the iconic sneakers that grace these pages. Whether you're a sneakerhead, a basketball lover, or someone who has never even watched hoops, this book will pull you in. There's no one better to tell this story than Russ Bengtson." -- Mirin Fader , bestselling author of Giannis: The Improbable Rise of an NBA MVP and senior staff writer at The Ringer, " A History of Basketball in Fifteen Sneakers confirms Russ Bengtson as this generation's definitive voice on everything sneaker-related. This book is a treasure trove of knowledge for novices and a reminder to even the most diehard sneakerhead that there are many layers to the history behind what we're wearing on our feet today." -- Alex Wong , author of Cover Story and We the Champs, "This book is not only a tremendous amount of fun, but also a tremendous resource of history. And I know that oftentimes those two things cannot co-exist. But that's only because oftentimes it's not Russ Bengtson who is doing the writing." -- Shea Serrano , bestselling author of Basketball (and Other Things), "This book is not only a tremendous amount of fun, but also a tremendous resource of history. And I know that oftentimes those two things cannot co-exist. But that's only because oftentimes it's not Russ Bengtson who is doing the writing."-- Shea Serrano, bestselling author of Basketball (and Other Things)
Synopsis
The ultimate book for both hoops fans and sneaker obsessives, A History of Basketball in Fifteen Sneakers is an exciting and fascinating look at the sport written with authority and experience by former Complex magazine editor Russ Bengtson. From primeval Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars to baroque Reebok Pumps and myth-making Air Jordans to super-high-tech Nike Adapt BBs, each chapter breaks down how a specific sneaker defined an era of basketball, transformed the culture, or changed the game. With full-colour sneaker photographs and sidebars throughout, the book is a kaleidoscopic celebration of the players, styles, and iconic moments that have shaped hoops both on and off the court. Topics include: Puma Clydes and the New York City street game; the explosion of sneaker marketing in the 1980s and the rise of the modern global basketball superstar with Michael Jordan; Nike Air Swoopes and the evolution of the women's game; sneaker tech and tweaking design to playing style, from inside post moves to outside sharpshooting; and much more., A celebration of the iconic shoes and superstars who have defined the sport for decades, A History of Basketball in Fifteen Sneakers tells the story of hoops as only shoes can. The ultimate book for both hoops fans and sneaker obsessives, A History of Basketball in Fifteen Sneakers is an exciting and fascinating look at the sport written with authority and experience by former Complex and SLAM magazine editor Russ Bengtson. From primeval Converse Chuck Taylor All Stars to baroque Reebok Pumps and myth-making Air Jordans to super-high-tech Nike Adapt BBs, each chapter breaks down how a specific sneaker defined an era of basketball, transformed the culture, or changed the game.

Topics include: Walt Frazier's PUMA Clydes and the New York City street game; Michael Jordan's first signature Air Jordan and the birth of the modern global basketball superstar; Nike Air Swoopes and the evolution of the women's game; sneaker tech and the rise of retro; and much more., Which came first, the sport or the sneaker? Sure, it all started with the game, but the history of the two is so intertwined that it's sometimes hard to separate one from the other. And it makes for fascinating reading. Starting with the story behind the ubiquitous Converse Chuck Taylor All Star, this is the ultimate book for hoops fans and sneaker obsessives alike.
