Description

Once confided to use in sports arenas, trainers have become part of our daily life. They are worn in town, in the office or with casual clothes. And everyone has a pair. But before this mass popularity there were hours of struggle and competition, still alive today, between Adidas, Reebok, Converse, and Nike. Unfolding on these pages is the real saga of the great names, the celebrities, and the escalating competition for the highest public profile and status. Illustrated with 200 color photos showcasing the world's 'top models.'
