di Salehe Bembury (Autore)

Rizzoli International Publications, 2025

In the space of just fifteen years, Bembury has risen through the footwear industry to become one of the most influential voices in the sneaker world. Combining a lifelong passion for the culture with a unique appreciation for technical and material innovation, he is responsible for some of the most compelling silhouettes and collectible pairs of the last decade. With remarkable versatility, Bembury has lent his touch to brands as diverse as Cole Haan and Moncler, New Balance and Yeezy, and to styles ranging from formal footwear to hiking sneakers, luxury runners to clogs always with a unique aesthetic true to his vision. Trained as an industrial designer, Bembury has made textural experimentation a hallmark of his work. From the Cuban-link sole of the Chain Reaction he created during his tenure as head of sneaker design for Versace to the intertwined fingerprints that define the open form of the Crocs Pollex, his shoes have energized and broadened the horizons of the sneaker industry. Collecting all of Bembury s key designs from fifteen years of work and with sketches, samples, renderings, and personal ephemera accompanying spectacular photography made specially for the book this landmark monograph is a timeless celebration of the most original voice in footwear design.
