Sneaker Freaker. The Ultimate Sneaker Book. 45th Ed. (45th Edition)

Description

Back in 2002, Simon “Woody” Wood was dreaming up schemes to get free sneakers. Two weeks later, he was the proud owner of Sneaker Freaker and his life was never the same. From its early roots as a punk-style fanzine to today’s super-slick print and online operations, the fiercely independent publication has documented every collab, custom, limited edition, retro reissue, Quickstrike, Hyperstrike, and Tier Zero sneaker released over the last 20 years. Woody’s original premise that Sneaker Freaker would be “funny and serious, meaningful and pointless at the same time” has certainly been vindicated in The Ultimate Sneaker Book . With more than 500 pages jam-packed with insider knowledge and his own irreverent observations, the insane historical detail and otaku-level minutiae is beyond obsessive. Traversing 100 years of history , each chapter paints a rollicking picture of the sneaker industry’s evolution. Air Max, Air Force, Adi Dassler, Converse, Dapper Dan, Dee Brown, and Michael Jordan—along with obscure treasures like Troop, Airwalk, and Vision Street Wear—are all exhaustively documented. This is a definitive source of knowledge. This is… The Ultimate Sneaker Book ! Review: Fabulous and fun book for almost anyone! - I bought this for my grandson who has been obsessed with sneakers since he was about 6 years old. He's even buying and selling them online. He loves the book and has enjoyed looking through it. It has all the really cool sneakers you ever might have seen with the pictures and the history behind the shoes and who created them. My daughter now keeps it on her coffee table. Review: I like this book. I love shoes - Cool book. One guys fetish of shoes for all to enjoy
