Sneaker Freaker: The Ultimate Sneaker Book

Every sneaker story is worth telling!

A 15-year anthology from cult magazine Sneaker Freaker
In 2002, Simon "Woody" Wood devised a plan to get free sneakers. Two weeks later, he was the proud owner of Sneaker Freaker, and his life was never the same.

From its early roots as a punk-style fanzine to today's slick print and online presence, the fiercely independent publication has documented every collab, custom, limited edition, retro reissue, Quickstrike, Hyperstrike, and Tier Zero sneaker released over the past 15 years.

Woody's original premise that Sneaker Freaker would be "funny and serious, meaningful and pointless at the same time" is certainly confirmed in The Ultimate Sneaker Book. With over 650 pages packed with insider information and his own irreverent observations, the insane historical details and otaku-level detail are more than obsessive.

Each chapter spans 100 years of history, painting a vibrant picture of the sneaker industry's evolution. Air Max, Air Force, Adi Dassler, Converse, Kanye West, Dapper Dan, Dee Brown, Michael Jordan, and Yeezy—along with obscure gems like Troop, Airwalk, and Vision Street Wear—are all meticulously documented.

This is a definitive source of knowledge. This is... The ultimate sneaker book!
