Sneaker Freaker

by Simon Wood

At once the supreme manifesto, the lavish catalog, and the journalistic revelation of the sneaker-collecting universe, Sneaker Freaker is the perfect, must-have document of a thriving subculture just now surfacing in the mainstream. The most prized sneakers are going for at least ten times their retail price on eBay. Celebrities and famous artists are being commissioned to design their own lines of sneakers. The release of a new pair of Nikes or Adidas—often produced especially for the thousands upon thousands of collectors—can set off all-night vigils and mini-riots in cities across the globe.

As someone who is OBSESSED with sneakers, this book is indispensable. It contains snarky, entertaining articles and pictures from the zine Sneaker Freaker (from Australia, and incredibly hard to find), along with other stories and photo spreads. I can spend hours reading and rereading this book and staring at the pictures and drooling over all the cool shoes. If you love sneakers, this is your book.

Awesome book!!! Even if your not totally in awe of sneakers, everyone enjoys a down to earth, cool looking, laid back, comfortable pair of sneakers to hang out in from time to time.
