Sneaker Freaker World's Greatest Sneaker Collectors

Attention dear sneaker enthusiasts: The Sneaker Freaker World's Greatest Sneaker Collectors will be hitting the (virtual) shelves in a few days. The must-have for you and of course us too. After the success of "The Ultimate Sneaker Book" and "SOLED OUT", Sneaker Freaker is releasing a new book. Again with the world's best Cologne publisher TASCHEN. The book takes you on a journey through the well-stocked closets and shows you the obcessive minds of the fiercest collectors in the world.

The endless search for the Holy Grail aka Holy Grail is both a blessing and a curse, because Sneaker Collector the dream of owning a sneaker can turn your head! From vintage classics to well-worn Jordans, Sneaker Freaker's new collection delves into the holdings of prominent collectors.

What is the new sneaker book about?

In the book you will find professional tips on photography, storage and avoiding fakes. Such a deep insight into the scene has never been printed on this scale before. Simon Wood, founder and editor-in-chief of Sneaker Freaker magazine, has spent the last two decades analyzing the global cult of sneakers. And he went looking for the baddest collectors and talked to them. He found over 2,500 vintage classics, one-of-a-kind athlete sneakers, unknown patterns, handmade 1-of-1 prototypes, ultra-expensive collaborations, player exclusives and worn-out Jordans with price tags worth millions of dollars.

We love sneaker books. Not just because they always look really good and are great as coffee table books. No, you can really learn a lot and find out that you can't find things so easily on the Internet. Simon Wood knows what he's talking about and is simply a legend when it comes to sneaker knowledge. We already love the book and have found a lot of interesting information. We don't know everything there is to know about sneakers and we love browsing through books like this.
