In 2002, Simon “Woody” Wood started his dream of acquiring free sneakers and two weeks later became the proud owner of Sneaker Freaker, which changed his life. From its early roots as a punk-style fanzine to its current form as a cutting-edge publishing business, this ambitious publication has documented every collaboration, customization, limited edition, reissue, and the rarest sneaker releases of the last 20 years. Woody's original idea that Sneaker Freaker would be “funny and serious, important and pointless at the same time” has proven true in The Ultimate Sneaker Book. With over 500 pages filled with insider knowledge and his own irreverent observations, the detailed documentation of history and expert analysis is beyond obsessive. Spanning 100 years of history, each chapter paints a humorous picture of the evolution of the sneaker industry. Air Max, Air Force, Adi Dassler, Converse, Dapper Dan, Dee Brown, and Michael Jordan, as well as rare treasures like Troop, Airwalk, and Vision Street Wear are exhaustively documented. This is a definitive source of knowledge. This is… The Ultimate Sneaker Book!
