What is Miner Sneakers about?

This essay engages the sneaker in hopes of remedying the ambivalence that historians and cultural critics have had toward the shoe as an object of cultural production. Shoes have been recontextualized by youth subcultures to serve as objects that separate these cultural groups from outside social control and domination. As markers of identity, sneakers need to be taken seriously to fully interrogate sneaker culture as an open-ended critique of identity construction under globalized capital.
