Sneaker Coffin Discussion

by: Ryan Rivera and Ben Karasik


We talked about the history of the sneaker, what the coffin represented, and its significance to the creator of the sneaker and people around the world. The sneaker was created in 1995, and the coffin shortly thereafter. The coffin represented the human body and it looked like it actually could fit a child. It seemed to be created by or for a sneaker fanatic. We did not really talk about the color scheme of the shoe or the materials used for the coffin and the actual sneaker. We did not compare the sneaker to the coffin as much. On the label it said that the coffin was created in 1990 but instead it should have 1995. It was most likely a misprint and we could have saved time to discuss something else rather than that during the video.
