Description

Us Patent No. 355576 Athletic Footwear Particularly Basketball Shoes by Thomas a Edmonds (1971) Thomas A. Edmonds filed this schematic in the era of short shorts and chest-passes, when the canvas high-top still ruled the hardwood and a sneaker's soul lived in the cut of its sole and the geometry of its arch. The line drawing studies the shoe in profile and underfoot, every tread channel plotted like a play diagrammed on a coach's clipboard.

About the Source

Bella Frye sources sports artifacts from American archives — the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for inventor's drawings, and from the great American tobacco-card and broadside traditions for vintage memorabilia: Allen & Ginter, T206, Cracker Jack, Boston Garter, the Negro League broadsides, and the early press photographs that documented baseball, football, golf, and the rest of the American sporting century.

Materials & Finish

Printed to order in our Pacific Northwest studio on premium 380gsm cotton canvas with archival pigment inks. Hand-finished and framed in our signature ornate frame with verdigris corner detail, available in three finishes:

  • Ebony — deep black with carved ornate detailing; dramatic against light walls
  • Verdigris — aged copper-green with antique patina; the signature Bella Frye look
  • Bourbon — warm walnut tone with ornate relief; rich and historically grounded

Stretched canvas (frameless gallery wrap) is available for those who prefer a frameless presentation.

Where It Belongs

Game rooms, dens, sports bars, fan caves, home offices, and any space where the engineering and folklore of American sport earn wall presence. Pairs naturally with other documents from the Bella Frye Sports Memorabilia collection — patents, portraits, programs, and the artifacts of the great American game.

From the American Grandstand

This print is drawn from an original vintage sports illustration, trading card, or action photograph — a genuine artifact of American athletic history, preserved and reproduced in meticulous detail on museum-quality canvas.

Framing & Finish

Each piece is printed in-house on premium canvas and available in three finishes:

  • Ebony — deep black frame with ornate carved detailing; bold and stadium-worthy against light walls
  • Verdigris — aged copper-green finish with antique patina; the signature Bella Frye look
  • Bourbon — warm walnut tone with ornate relief; the natural home for baseball and boxing

All framed pieces include a gallery-wrapped canvas with hand-applied ornate corner details. Stretched canvas is available for those who prefer a frameless, gallery-style presentation.

Sizing

Available in multiple sizes to suit your wall. All pieces are printed to order in our Pacific Northwest studio.

Why This Piece

American sports were documented obsessively from the start — illustrated, traded, photographed, and collected. These weren't just athletes. They were the first American celebrities, and the artifacts that captured them are as vivid now as the day they were made.
