From Soul to Sole: The Adidas Sneakers of Jacques Chassaing

Jacques Chassaing has been called “the father of modern running shoes”, a man who has left an indelible mark on the world of both street and sports fashion. For over forty years, he has pushed for innovation and created designs that no one else could ever dream of, yet which combined form and function to perfection.

Now, in the pages of From Soul to Sole, written by Chassaing himself, you can read and see his journey for yourself. The book is filled with images collected over his legendary career, stories from famous athletes (among them Michael Jordan) who were fortunate enough to meet the man and wear his designs, and a deeper insight into his design philosophy and creative processes. It’s a truly fascinating look into the mind that shaped modern footwear as we know it.
