Joy Division trainers revealed
(Wednesday June 06, 2007 05:32 PM)

A pair of trainers inspired by Joy Division are set for production, it has been confirmed.

The manufacturer's, New Balance, are awaiting final clearance on making the shoes, which are based on the artwork to the band's landmark 1979 album "Unknown Pleasures".

The trainers - pictured - feature the distinctive ripples on the sole and tongue and are embossed with the catalogue number Fact 10, after Anthony H Wilson's seminal record label.

American artist Dylan Adair has designed the sneakers, which, if released, will coincide with a new film based around the life of Joy Division singer Ian Curtis.

The premiere of "Control", which is directed by Anton Corbijn, received a rapturous critical reception at the Cannes Film Festival last month.
