From Sole to Soul: The Adidas Sneakers of Jacques Chassaing

The coffee table book "From Sole to Soul" is the definitive sneaker book on the creations, career and legacy of Jacques Chassaing, one of the world's greatest sneaker designers.

Often called the father of modern running and basketball sneakers, Jacques Chassaing has shaped and influenced sports and street fashion as few designers ever will. For the first time, Chassaing reveals the story behind the 40-year career of a pioneering designer who has continually pushed boundaries and led the creation of many of the world's most beloved sneakers.

Chassaing excites and provokes readers with his life experiences and takes them on a journey of constant evolution and revolution. We learn about those who inspired him and meet those he inspired. We discover what drove his design philosophy and the process behind some of the best sneakers and sports technologies ever created: the Forum, Rivalry, Lendl, Edberg, ZX series, Predator, EQT line, Torsion and his Porsche Design collabs, just to name a few. And we see how Chassaing's designs have influenced modern culture and made a place at the feet and in the hearts of millions.

This book contains stories about and contributions from athletes, celebrities and designers who have worked with and been influenced by Chassaing and his work, including Michael Jordan, Stefan Edberg, Patrick Ewing, Run DMC, Gary Aspden, Paul Gaudio and many others.
