Soled Out: The Golden Age of Sneaker Advertising (A Sneaker Freaker Book)

Product Information

The Michael Jackson deal with LA Gear however turned salty and his bedazzled boots were a total flop.

Reebok was a major player in the 1990s with Michael Chang, Dominique Wilkins, Shawn Kemp and Shaq on the team. Yet, part of the thrill of Soled Out lies in the stranger, funnier, quirkier shoes and accompanying campaigns. Brooks also joined the Cold War by using an image of Khrushchev pounding a lectern at the United Nations in 1960 [Khrushchev was reported to have banged the lectern with his shoe]. That’s an interesting question, and one that is even more relevant today given the sneaker industry’s obsession with rappers and A-listers.

Shoes were now sold based on the lure of delivering high performance from the ultimate ‘superhero’ athletes. That seems absurd today, but this historical travesty was illuminated in 1982 via Nike’s most polemic ad.

These new items are simple and the logo is creative and unique, so be sure to look out for their new gear and new DVD coming soon.Here is the newest commercial of the upcoming Nike Air Jordan XXII, there isn’t detailed and clear photos at this moment but from the shots seen now, they are definitely slick and simple which is something we have not seen in quite some time.

As Woody says, ‘A strict millennial curfew seemed appropriate, as advertising from the 2000s onwards is simply too modern and too knowingly sophisticated for sentimental reflection’.
