Okay, it is what is: The Sneaker Colouring Book by Henrik Klingel and Daniel Jarosch is a collection of 100 black and white line drawings of customizable kicks. This book may start off quietly zen, but the expectation is that it will become a personal work of art. The pages (of nice drawing stock) can be removed once coloured in. Not just current models, the sneaks date back to 1916 and cover such brands as Adidas, Converse, New Balance, Nike, Onitsuka Tiger, Puma, Reebok, and Vans. Fun for the whole family.

Paperback, 152 pages. Laurence King Publishers, 2010. $13.57 at Amazon.
