Each of these trainers has a tale to tell. A famous endorsement, a movie connection, an inspiring local story: whatever it is about them, it has lifted them above the run of the mill stuff and has fixed them firmly in our collective consciousness as 'classics'. I decided to stop just doodling my favourites on the back of unpaid gas bills and do something useful with my apparently limitless appetite for drawing trainers. This series comes hot on the heels (sorry) of my previous illustration project, the Three Stripe Alphabet.
