SNEAKER FREAKER. THE ULTIMATE SNEAKER BOOK

In 2002, Simon "Woody" Wood came up with all kinds of schemes to get free sneakers. Two weeks later, he was the proud owner of Sneaker Freaker, and his life was changed forever. From its punk fanzine beginnings to the polished content of its current print and online publications, this fiercely independent magazine has described and commented on every collaboration, bespoke model, limited edition, retro reissue, quickstrike, hyperstrike and tier zero released over the past 15 years. Woody's original aim, that Sneaker Freaker should be "both funny and serious, meaningful and frivolous", is fully achieved in The Ultimate Sneaker Book. With over 650 pages packed with expert knowledge, irreverent observations and incredible historical detail, this bible of the hijacked sports shoe is a testament to a fervent, obsessive attention to detail that borders on monomania. Spanning 100 years of history, each chapter cheerfully presents trends and developments in the sneaker industry. Air Max, Air Force, Adi Dassler, Converse, Kanye, Dapper Dan, Dee Brown, Michael Jordan and Yeezy - as well as more confidential jewels such as Troop, Airwalk and Vision Street Wear - all the legendary models are described. Here's the ultimate source of knowledge. Introducing... The Ultimate Sneaker Book! "The most comprehensive basketball review on the planet!" - MTV
