Description
In 1997 Jeff Staple walked into a boutique in New York City wearing a shirt he printed in his silk-screen class at Parsons School of Design. What started as a small handmade T-shirt line grew organically and began to garner a serious following in New York. In the process of building this burgeoning brand Staple was asked by Nike in 2005 to create a special commemorative sneaker that would represent New York. The Staple Pigeon Dunk SB was conceived and led to much fanfare upon its release. It exposed Staple-as well as sneaker culture-to a mass audience. In Staple s words to understand is to see and to see is to have clarity of mind. That clarity has helped develop his iconic Pigeon logo (and brand) into a global force that has graced the heels of almost every major footwear brand imaginable.
This book offers readers a history lesson in his enormous contributions to streetwear and the sneaker industry while also uncovering design context to a series of Staple s most crucial projects. A beautiful visual reference this book invites the reader to travel down an intricate maze of streetwear history told through an insider s point of view. Archival sketches drawings magazine covers and contributions by Hiroshi Fujiwara and Futura make this an indispensable volume for lovers of streetwear and design.
