These sneakereheads will be be able to take in a range of archived designs from such shoe brand leaders as adidas, Nike, Reebok, PUMA and Converse. Even the Northampton Museums and Art Gallery partook by lending some of its wares to the highly anticipated shoe show.
Starting off with a bang this upcoming Thursday, the Bata Shoe Museum 'Out of the Box' exhibit encompasses the spirit of the like-minded sneaker hip-hop lifestyle exhibition known as Sneaker Pimps. In this case, however, it takes a more historical point-of-view by documenting the rise of the sneaker culture from the 19th century through to today.
