Sneaker Freaker - World's Greatest Sneaker Collectors
The Art of Sneaker Collecting
Sneaker Freaker's Epic Guide to the Ultimate Sneaker Collector
Simon Woody Wood, founder and editor-in-chief of Sneaker Freaker magazine, has spent the last two decades analyzing the global cult of sneakerheads. This experience directly inspired the World's Greatest Sneaker Collectors, a stunning 752-page journey into the priceless stashes and obsessions of prominent sneaker connoisseurs.
From Tokyo to New York, via London, Philadelphia, Melbourne and Stjørdal, no crumbling midsole is left as over 2,500 vintage classics, unique athlete SMUs, unobtainable samples, hand-made 1-of-1 prototypes, stratospherically priced colabs and Player Exclusives, and game-worn Jordans with multi-million dollar price tags are hailed with gusto. The endless search for Holy Grails is both a blessing and a curse, as our inner hoarder constantly plans and dreams of the one sneaker we don't yet own!
Luxuriously photographed profiles are augmented by a series of informative how-to guides packed with professional tips on sneaker photography, storage, insurance, cleaning and avoiding the fake curse. The expertise is invaluable. The stories will entertain for days as we dig into the basics of what it means and requires to define yourself as a true collector a huge sneaker head.
KarlsKicks recommends this book as this year's Christmas gift idea for all sneakerheads.
