Peter Moore: Sneaker Legend

The coffee table book "Peter Moore: Sneaker Legend" is a tribute to the visionary designer whose creative genius left an indelible mark on the world of sneakers, athletic apparel and the sports industry. He uniquely became one of the most influential and celebrated creative directors of both Adidas and Nike.

The book reveals for the first time the story behind the creation of the Air Jordan 1, the sneaker central to modern streetwear culture, the beloved "Wings" and "Jumpman" logos, the groundbreaking Adidas Equipment and Originals lines and the iconic Adidas "Performance" logo. This book includes Moore's early designs, concept sketches, revolutionary advertising campaigns and personal artwork. His creative path from his early days as a graphic design student to the eventual shaping of both Nike and Adidas is an inspiring guide to the trailblazers of modern streetwear culture. His unflinching genius and influence finally get the recognition they deserve in this book.

Working closely with Moore's three sons and many of his closest friends and colleagues, Coles uses the legendary creative's own words to weave a comprehensive tapestry of the sports industry icon's life and legacy. The pages of this book are not only an encyclopedic visual history of his contributions to streetwear, but also a heartfelt tribute to the late designer. The book is peppered with quotes and contributions from the likes of Michael Jordan, Tinker Hatfield, adidas CEO Bjørn Gulden, Nike co-founder Phil Knight, Darryl McDaniels of Run DMC and art director Jacques Chassaing, along with many who worked closely with Moore and are among the most influential streetwear designers today.
