THE ULTIMATE SNEAKER BOOK 40th ANNIVERSARY

THE ULTIMATE SNEAKER BOOK 40th ANNIVERSARY

Back in 2002, Simon “Woody” Wood was dreaming up schemes 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 super-slick print and online operations, the fiercely independent publication has documented every collab, custom, limited edition, retro reissue, Quickstrike, Hyperstrike, and Tier Zero sneaker released over the last 15 years.

Woody’s original premise that Sneaker Freaker would be “funny and serious, meaningful and pointless at the same time” has certainly been vindicated in The Ultimate Sneaker Book. With more than 500 pages jam-packed with insider knowledge and his own irreverent observations, the insane historical detail and otaku-level minutiae is beyond obsessive.

Traversing 100 years of history, each chapter paints a rollicking picture of the sneaker industry’s evolution. Air Max, Air Force, Adi Dassler, Converse, Kanye, Dapper Dan, Dee Brown, Michael Jordan, and Yeezy—along with obscure treasures like Troop, Airwalk, and Vision Street Wear—are all exhaustively documented.

Hard cover.

Taschen

Benedikt Taschen, con tan solo 12 años, empezó a vender comics. Con 15 años ya era económicamente independiente y con 18 ya había abierto una tienda, Taschen comics. Es ahí, en Colonia, en 1980 cuando nace la marca. Desde ese momento se dedicó a la reventa de libros, hasta 1982 que edita su primer libro. Este era un libro de fotografías de Annie Leibovitz. Posteriormente le siguieron otras ediciones, casi todas dedicadas a pintores. La misión de la compañía es publicar libros que bien diseñados e innovadores a precios asequibles. Hoy en día es una de las editoriales más importantes que existe, con sus ediciones sobre arte, fotografía, arquitectura, etc. Hoy en día Taschen dispone de series de básicos a precios más asequibles, ediciones en tamaños XL o ediciones limitadas de ciertas publicaciones que son auténticas obras de arte. Nos encanta por la imagen, las temáticas y las ediciones tan atractivas que realizan, que además tienen un precio asequible y son libros para toda la vida, que de vez en cuando apetece volver a echarles un ojo, e inspirarnos con sus contenidos.
