Joy Division Sneakers


On display at Ran in Manchester is a custom NB by a mysterious Canadian with a thing for Joy Division / Factory Records.

The art from the band’s 1979 debut record is used in the tongue tag and insole.

“The album cover, designed by Peter Saville based on a graph of 100 consecutive pulses from the pulsar CP 1919, is regarded as a classic of minimalist sleeve design. The image was found by Sumner in a book of astronomy and represents “the final flashes of a dying star.”" — Wikipedia
