Sneakers Unboxed - Studio to Street

Sports shoe, style statement and cult object—the sneaker is both an everyday item and a rare collectible. Presented at 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum, Sneakers Unboxed: Studio to Street is a touring exhibition from the Design Museum in London. 

Part of the Qatar-UK 2013 legacy, the exhibition tells the story of sneakers through 500 objects, including over 200 pairs of sneakers alongside contextual images, film, and archival materials. 

Charting the design and cultural histories of sneakers, this exhibition explores how these shoes, originally designed for athletic activities, have shaped a global industry.
