HIGH TOP

“HIGHT TOP” In rich blue with white accents, this min­i­mal­ist depic­tion recalls the iconic high-top sneak­er of the late 1970s. The crisp con­tour, bold stripes, and clean, unem­bell­ished form evoke mem­o­ries of bas­ket­ball courts, youth cul­ture, and the dawn of the sneak­er era as a lifestyle state­ment. “HIGHT TOP” cap­tures the essence of a design that tran­scend­ed sport to become a time­less style icon. “HIGHT TOP” is part of the art series “Blue in a Square”, which includes 300+ artworks.

Walk this way.

Shoes have always car­ried a spe­cial sig­nif­i­cance. But in the ’80s the great era of sneak­ers began and it con­tin­ues to this day. A shoe you can wear with any­thing. A state­ment. Because it depends on which sneak­er you wear.

The sneak­er becomes the trade­mark of a gen­er­a­tion. To be the person you want to be seen and under­stood as, you have to wear the right sneak­er. Pun­ished is the one who, through parental igno­rance, is forced to wear train­ers with two stripes or five stripes. They might as well have put a T‑shirt on the kid that said “Loser.” The con­temp­tu­ous, dis­mis­sive incom­pre­hen­sion of many par­ents at the time has left its mark to this day. That’s why many in my gen­er­a­tion have a “shoe obsession.”
Because you never want to end up in a sit­u­a­tion where you have to wear the wrong ones again. But even this dream can be over­come once you become aware of it—and notice that life is less about the shoe and more about the person wear­ing it. And the right person can walk bare­foot, too.
