In this rollicking narrative, Nicholas K. Smith carries us through the long twentieth century as sneakers became the totem of subcultures from California skateboarders to New York rappers, the cause of gang violence and riots, the heart of a global economic controversy, the lynchpin in a quest to turn big sports into big business, and the muse of high fashion. Studded with larger-than-life mavericks and unexpected visionaries--from genius rubber inventor, Charles Goodyear, to road-warrior huckster Chuck Taylor, to the feuding brothers who founded Adidas and Puma, to the track coach who changed the sport by pouring rubber in his wife's waffle iron---Kicks introduces us to the sneaker's surprisingly influential, enduring, and evolving legacy."--Amazon.com. 650 0 $a Sneakers $z United States. 650 0 $a Sneakers $x Social aspects $z United States. 941 $a 8 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710041224.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611012721.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230902012347.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909050553.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722055242.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180802013608.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20180712014839.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180515010556.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=318DFBB0528511E88551665297128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
