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

In 2002, Simon "Woody" Wood set out on a journey to acquire free sneakers, a venture that quickly transformed his life as he became the owner of Sneaker Freaker. Originally starting as a punk-inspired fanzine, the publication has grown into a sleek, influential presence both in print and online, maintaining its independent spirit. Over the past two decades, Sneaker Freaker has meticulously chronicled collaborations, custom designs, limited editions, retro reissues, as well as Quickstrike, Hyperstrike, and Tier Zero releases. Woody's vision of creating a magazine that would be both humorous and serious, significant and seemingly trivial, is brilliantly realized in The Ultimate Sneaker Book. Spanning over 500 pages, this book is filled with insider wisdom and Woody's distinctive, cheeky insights. It delves into sneaker history with an extraordinary level of detail and passion, presenting an engaging narrative of the industry's progression over the last century. The Ultimate Sneaker Book offers an exhaustive exploration of iconic figures and brands, including Air Max, Air Force, Adi Dassler, Converse, Dapper Dan, Dee Brown, and Michael Jordan, along with lesser-known gems like Troop, Airwalk, and Vision Street Wear. This anthology stands as an essential reservoir of sneaker knowledge for enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
