SUMMARY:Book Discussion: Kicks: The Great American Story of Sneakers by Nicholas Smith
DESCRIPTION:Author Nicholas Smith examines the history\, innovation\, and societal impact of sneakers in American life through marketing\, economic\, and cultural trends. Smith weaves together a story of how the sneaker evolved over the course of a century. As production methods were revolutionized\, the perception of this iconic footwear shifted as well\, making them into must-have shoes. Themes in this book will tie into Future Now: Virtual Sneakers to Cutting-Edge Kicks. \nFuture Now: Virtual Sneakers to Cutting-Edge Kicks is co-organized by the American Federation of Arts and the Bata Shoe Museum\, and curated by Elizabeth Semmelhack\, Director and Senior Curator of the Bata Shoe Museum.
