The Sneaker Paola Antonelli, design curator at the Museum of Modern Art, finds sublime design in a rubber-soled wonder -- the sneaker. "Design for the Real World" is an inside look at the hidden genius of everyday things – from lipstick to sheetrock, tea bags to ballparks. A regular feature of Studio 360 with Kurt Andersen, public radio's weekly show about what's happening in the culture. Produced by Public Radio International and WNYC.
