dc.description.abstractThis thesis is a cultural, sociological study that examines identity through the pursuit and ownership of grails, sneakers considered to be most prized by an individual. Framed through conversations with 24 sneaker collectors, it identifies these cherished artifacts as the coalescence of individuality, life experience, and personal aspirations. Applying design as a complimentary storytelling medium, its aim is to capture what it means to know one’s self through a sneaker.
