Sneaker Freaker. The Ultimate Sneaker Book. 40th edt.

Back in 2002, Simon “Woody” Wood devised plans to get free sneakers. Two weeks later he was the proud owner of Sneaker Freaker, og his life was never the same again.

From its early roots as a punk-inspired fanzine to today's super-chic print og online operation, the fiercely independent publication has documented all collaborations, custom shoes, limited editions, retro re-releases, Quickstrike, Hyperstrike og Tier Zero-sneakers, that have been published over the past 20 years.

Woody's original premise that Sneaker Freaker would be “fun og serious, meaningful og pointless at the same time", has definitely been confirmed in The Ultimate Sneaker Book. With more than 500 pages filled with insider knowledge og his own irreverent observations are the crazy historical details og otaku-level trifles more than obsessive.

Each chapter covers 100 years of history og paints a vivid picture of the evolution of the sneaker industry. Air Max, Air Force, Adi Dassler, Converse, Dapper Dan, Dee Brown og Michael Jordan – along with obscure treasures like Troop, Airwalk og Vision Street Wear – are all exhaustively documented.
