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.

This review is from: Sneaker Freaker (Mass Market Paperback)
this is a great book for anyone who's into sneakers. you don't have to be a "head" to enjoy the pretty pictures and the interviews. it's great that the author talked about where to hunt for sneakers in various cities around the world. now if only the book was bigger in size so the details of the sneakers can be appreciated more....
