Final Major Project for University
Sneaker Sniffer is a different take on a generic sneaker book. It looks deeper than what meets the eye, it investigates the origins of sneakers in society from the 50’s up to present day. The book contents both written and visual are all designed and created by myself.
The book also provides interactive features to allow the book to stand out from the competitors in the market, enable the target audience to understand the themes within the book in a more intimate way. And it also puts emphasis on the fact it is a one off limited edition book. Which is important because sneaker heads love exclusiveness, the target audience is vast and this book is aimed at those who are interested in fashion, culture and sneakers.

Sneakers come in boxes so why shouldn’t a sneaker book. This gives the book a one off feel that includes real shoe laces to case t0 together securely. The interior of the box uses shoe paper from a limited edition pair of Nike Air Max's from the 90s.
