The groundbreaking monograph "Salehe Bembury: I Make Shoes," which collects all of sneaker designer Salehe Bembury's major designs from fifteen years of work - with sketches, samples, renderings and personal memorabilia alongside spectacular photographs taken especially for the book - is a timeless tribute to the most original voice in shoe design.

In just 15 years, Salehe Bembury, an independent American shoe and fashion designer, has worked his way up in the footwear industry to become one of the most influential voices in the sneaker world. Combining his lifelong passion for culture with a unique appreciation for technical and material innovation, he is responsible for some of the most appealing silhouettes and collectible pairs of shoes of the past decade.

With his remarkable versatility, Bembury has made his mark on brands as diverse as Cole Haan and Moncler, New Balance and Yeezy, and on styles ranging from formal shoes to hiking boots, luxury running shoes to clogs - always with a unique aesthetic that stays true to his vision. Trained as an industrial designer, Bembury has made textural experimentation a hallmark of his work. From the Cuban link sole of the Chain Reaction, which he designed when he was head of sneaker design at Versace, to the interwoven fingerprints that characterize the open shape of the Crocs Pollex, his shoes have revitalized the sneaker industry and broadened its horizons.
