As the title suggests, SOLED OUT is an exploration of the print advertising produced to sell
sneakers in the 20th century. From McEnroe and MJ to Hulk Hogan and Sigourney Weaver,
this is the 20th-century sports industry expressed in its own grandiose prose and
muscular image. Work on SOLED OUT started back in 2009, so you could say it has been
more than a decade in the making, though it was always in brief respites between projects.
To quote the man himself.
"Only masochists and hardcore completists make books this big."
