Arguably no book was a greater influence on the 1970s running boom than THE COMPLETE BOOK OF RUNNING. Fixx's book sold more than one million copies and its instantly recognizable cover was ubiquitously displayed in chain and mall bookstores well into the 1980s. The cover's red-and-white shoes became not just a symbol of running's growing popularity, but of a burgeoning sneaker culture that by the mid 1980s would culminate in the Air Jordan. Donated by Fixx in 1981 to a charity auction, the shoes remain iconic. 10.5'' x 4'' each approx. Original red and white Onitsuka Tiger running shoes (not noted, but approximately size nine).

Together with an early printing of the THE COMPLETE BOOK OF RUNNING (provided). Housed in an archival box.…
