Interview: Bata Shoe Museum Senior Curator Elizabeth Semmelhack

WRITTEN BY: BRAD CLARKE POSTED/GreenLabel



We recently visited the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto to check out their exhibit, Out of the Box: The Rise of Sneaker Culture, to get schooled on the history of the sneaker. The exhibit was developed by Senior Curator of the Bata Shoe Museum, Elizabeth Semmelhack, who has worked at the museum since 2000 and has also consulted for other institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. We sat down with Elizabeth to find out more about how she developed the exhibit and the plans for its future.

How did you come up with the idea for Out of the Box: The Rise of Sneaker Culture?
Historically, the Bata Shoe Museum hasn’t collected sneakers, yet sneaker culture is such an important part of the history of footwear today. I saw an opportunity to not only engage with the long history of the sneaker, but also bring it up to contemporary times and work with contemporary collectors. It was a really interesting opportunity. I’m always interested in why something has been made, and why the sneaker was invented in the first place is fascinating. Since we engage with all types of footwear, I think that hopefully this exhibit has expanded what people think we do here at the Bata Shoe Museum.

How many pairs of shoes are included in this exhibit?
There are about 130 pairs of shoes, and given that we don’t collect sneakers, it meant that there had to be a lot of participation from major archives and major collectors. Once the idea was out there, everyone really came on board. It was fantastic.

Who were some of the first people to reach out and contribute to the sneaker portion of this exhibit?
The first people I had to call were Run-DMC. I called them and Eric Blam, and immediately got a very positive response. I knew that was setting me off on the right foot. Christian Louboutin was also extremely willing to lend to the exhibition, and he actually donated to the museum’s collection. I also worked with Dionne Walcott from Toronto Loves Kicks, and she allowed us to look at local collectors and also expand into an international web of people. We got sneakers from around the world like Ponys from Hong Kong. I was so impressed by how enthusiastic everybody was to participate.

What’s the one shoe everyone talks about or focuses on in the exhibit?
There are a couple of really important shoes. Obviously, the fact that Nike designer Tinker Hatfield picked the shoes that defined his career is a really important contribution to this exhibition. For me, though, the ones I really love are the Stewie Griffin Nikes. I think they’re so beautiful and eye catching. They’re also a media darling. They’re very photogenic. [Laughs]

What’s next for the exhibition?
The American Federation of the Arts, which is based out of New York City, has taken on Out of the Box as a traveling exhibition, so we’re now in negotiations with a number of large museums across the United States. We’re hopeful that a major museum in the New York City area will exhibit it and that it will go all the way across America, ending on the West Coast. It should travel for about a year, there will be a book that accompanies it, and it will be updated to reflect the most recent sneakers as it moves across the United States

New York Teenager Creates World’s First 'Sneaker Pawnshop’

By Rosa Prince/The Telegraph

Youngsters can pawn their valuable trainers to raise cash – if they pass smell test



A New York teenager has created the world’s first "sneaker pawnshop" where streetwise youngsters can hock their valuable trainers to raise cash.

Specialising in high-end designer models and “dead stock,” limited edition trainers no longer being made which can sell for many thousands of dollars, the store is the brainchild of Chase Reed, a 16-year-old from Harlem.

All shoes brought into Sneaker Pawn must pass a smell test before their owners receive a lump sum in cash.

They can redeem them later or allow them to be sold. Owners have first refusal on any sale and receive 80 per cent of any profit. Customers usually borrow around $100 (£60) per pair of lightly-worn trainers although one was lent thousands of dollars after bringing in a pair of Nike LeBron Crown Jewels and two pairs of Nike Air Jordans. They must repay the loan at a rate of 20 per cent.

Chase came up with the idea for Sneaker Pawn after asking his father, Troy, if he could borrow $50 (£29) only days after being bought a pair of expensive trainers.

Mr Reed told the New York Post: “I was like, ‘Are you serious?’ I’m holding these sneakers until I get my $50 back.” Chase raised the seed money to open Sneaker Pawn by selling off his own 200-strong collection of trainers.

A 10th grader at the Frederick Douglass Academy in Harlem, he works in the shop after school and at weekends while his father mans the tills during school hours.

As well as passing the sniff test, Chase and his colleagues check that trainers brought in to be pawned have retained their colour and do not have excessive wear on the soles.

Mr Reed said: “Young kids don’t have jewellery. They don’t have cars. But what they do have is the thousands of dollars worth of sneakers in their house.

“After we evaluate it, we’ll give the kid, say, $100 for the sneakers. If he wants them back, he’ll pay the $100, plus $20 for storing the sneakers.”

Chase said: “It’s an idea that’s right in front of your face. It’s just about bringing the idea to life.

“I don’t look at it like a business. It’s what I do. It’s what I breathe.”

Among the shop’s customers have been a youngster who pawned his valuable trainers to pay for his brother’s funeral and two teenage girls who wanted cash to buy prom dresses.

The owner of the LeBron Crown Jewels used the cash to move to The Bronx from Brooklyn.

Sneakers have become big business in recent years, with youngsters frequently queuing all night outside shops such as Nike and Reebok to buy the latest releases, and swapping shoes at huge trainer conventions.

There is a lively trade on auction sites such as eBay, where limited-edition trainers can rise in value far above their original retail price, particularly if they have a celebrity endorsement.

Originally bought for $270 (£159), LeBron Crown Jewels, named after basketball star LeBron James of the Miami Heat, are now worth around $1,400 (£825).

Nike Air Yeezys, designed in collaboration with the singer Kanye West, cost $263 (£194) when they were released, and are currently on sale on eBay for between $1,700 (£1,256) and $15,000 (£8,841).

Earlier this year, Jonathan Rodriguez, an 18-year-old from Deer Park, New York, turned down an offer of $98,000 (£57,760) in cash for his Nike Air Yeezy 2 “Red October” sneakers, which had been signed by West onstage during a concert.

One of Sneaker Pawn’s employees, Rahsaan “Uncle Bless” Capers has been offered $17,000 (£12,560) for the three pairs of Yeezys he owns, but says he is not ready to sell.

Kelela x Tink | Want It | Behind The Scenes

Ever since she released her progressive and promising debut mixtape CUT 4 ME in 2013, R&B singer/songwriter Kelela continues to impress with new material like the bass-heavy “The High” and the Bok Bok-assisted “Melba’s Call”.

Her latest, “Want It”, is a collaboration with rising Chicago singer/rapper Tink and features production courtesy of DJ Dahi.

The song, which was commissioned by Yours Truly for its Songs From Scratch series, is sensual and understated.

DJ Dahi’s click-clack percussion and ambient synths provide an inviting canvas for Kelela’s soulful hooks and Tink’s laid back verses. Listen in below.

Adidas Stan Smith | Elephant Leather

 photo 9ae1165c-22c6-4ee3-b5fa-b24e25e88619_zps41065b6c.jpg

Nike and Jordan Brand have in recent years made extensive use of the iconic Elephant print pattern introduced on the Air Jordan III.

They certainly don’t have a monopoly on packyderm prints, however, as Elephant print lookalikes are somewhat common and the real stuff is also still out there for the taking. Check out the latest adidas Originals Stan Smith, a ladies-only pair done in a black leather with an elephant skin texture a bit closer than the relatively caricatured JB style.

This particular texture isn’t all that common these days so you’ll definitely be ahead of the curve when you cop a pair from shops like Caliroots.

Adidas Originals Stan Smith Up

Adidas will enter into the wedge sneaker market with this brand new take on the beloved Stan Smith silhouette.

We knew going into 2014 that the Stans were going to be getting all sorts of attention from the brand, but we certainly didn’t expect this to be the outcome.

On top of extending the silhouette upwards, the remix also tosses a snakeskin texture on the back end in place of the original fairway green. So far there are two colorways spotted-a basic black and a basic white.

Look for the adidas Originals Stan Smith up to release on March 1st, 2014.
