You don’t need to walk a mile tiny dancer, print, printable, sign, poster, nursery decor, nursery wall art, ballet shoes, ballerina, girls room, wall art, gir in a pair of original “banned” 1985 Air Jordan 1’s — even if museum security guards would let you — to know there’s a story stitched into those bold red-and-black icons of foot candy, A breakthrough in basketball-shoe design, they’re credited for kicking off modern-day “sneaker culture.” Plus they got Michael Jordan in trouble because the colors violated the NBA’s uniform code — hence the banning — which only added to the sneaker’s mystique..

“He was fined $5,000 every time he played in them, so that really spread the cultural allure,” says Evelyn Orantes at the Oakland Museum of California, which is hosting the traveling exhibit, “Out of the Box: The Rise of Sneaker Culture,” opening Dec. 22 and running through April 2. Once under foot, now under glass, more than 140 pairs of sneakers will be on view, tracing the shoe’s evolution in terms of history, design and culture. And anyone who’s ever laced up a pair of sneakers to sprint, jog, dance, play tennis, be hip and/or hop or just plain run to the grocery store can relate.

On display are original prototypes from the mid-1800s, early Converse All-Stars of the early 1900s, styles of the 1970s hip-hop era (the legendary hip-hop group Run DMC contributed a rare pair to the show), baby-pink Reeboks of the 1980s (think legwarmers and “Flashdance”), checkerboard slip-on Vans of the West Coast skate crowd, plus high-end designer/celebrity styles from today’s “sneakerhead” collector scene, If shoes could talk, “Sneakers are intimately interlaced with history,” says Elizabeth Semmelhack, curator at Toronto’s Bata Shoe Museum, which developed the touring exhibit, “Fashion is not tangential to culture, It is a driving force that deserves serious consideration, and it just so happens that sneakers have a lot to tiny dancer, print, printable, sign, poster, nursery decor, nursery wall art, ballet shoes, ballerina, girls room, wall art, gir say — an expression of personal identity and a reflection of pop culture.”..

Many visitors will be surprised to learn how long sneakers have been around. We can all thank chemist and inventor Charles Goodyear (think tires and blimps) for patenting vulcanized rubber in 1844, making rubber more durable and flexible for a variety of uses, including shoes. It’s also a surprise to learn that something often considered a casual kick-around shoe for the masses was originally play wear for the leisure class. “The first sneakers were actually luxury items,” Semmelhack says. “They had high price points and were marketed to those who had the time to play. It was an expression of status.”.

It wasn’t until after World War I that Keds and Converse All-Stars hit the mass market, All-Stars would go on to become American icons, notably worn by the likes of Wilt Chamberlain and Joey Ramone, Then Nike swooshed onto the scene, further changing the sneaker landscape, Semmelhack says, “By the mid-1980s, when Michael Jordan signed with Nike and Run-DMC signed with Adidas, sneaker culture had a watershed moment, and increasing numbers of people became interested,” she says, These days, there’s a huge collector scene, which came as a surprise to Orantes when researching sneaker culture tiny dancer, print, printable, sign, poster, nursery decor, nursery wall art, ballet shoes, ballerina, girls room, wall art, gir for the exhibit..

No biz like shoe biz. “I like shoes, but I had no idea there was such a deep, often fanatical community around sneakers,” she says. “There are online communities, social media threads for collectors and traders. Part of it is some street cred, part of it is a hobby, in the way that people collect baseball cards.” The sneaker culture plays a major part in  Justin Tipping’s indie film “Kicks,” which was filmed in the East Bay. And everybody’s got a sneaker story. “For me, it was the pink Reebok,” Orantes says. “I remember my mom buying me the Payless version. Everybody can relate to the sneaker one way or another.”.
