Simon “Woody” Wood, founder and editor-in-chief of Sneaker Freaker magazine, has spent the last two decades analyzing the global cult of footwear fanatics. That experience directly inspired World’s Greatest Sneaker Collectors, a stonking 752-page journey into the priceless stockpiles and obsessive minds of prominent aficionados. From Tokyo to New York, via London, Philadelphia, Melbourne, and Stjørdal, no crumbled midsole is left unturned as over 2,500 vintage classics, unique athlete SMUs, unobtainable samples, handmade 1-of-1 prototypes, stratospherically priced colabs, and Player Exclusives and game-worn Jordans with multi-million-dollar price tags are lauded with gusto. The endless quest for “Holy Grails” is both blessing and curse as our collectors fiend, scheme, and dream of “the one” shoe they don’t yet own! Glossy portraits are augmented with a series of informative “How-to” guides stuffed with pro tips on sneaker photography, storage, insurance, cleaning, and avoiding the counterfeit curse. The expertise is priceless. The stories will entertain for days as we seek out the fundamentals of what it means, and takes, to define yourself as a “true collector.” Review: Excelente libro - Excelente libro Review: Add this one to your collection. - Love this book. If you love sneaker’s and reading about some of the most passionate collectors out there, I highly recommend this one.

You need this
Warning: May cause uncontrollable urge to hoard sneakers!” Review Text: If IKEA ever made a sneaker shrine, this book would be the manual. World’s Greatest Sneaker Collectors is what happens when your shoe obsession goes from “I like Jordans” to “I built a climate-controlled vault for my Dunks.” Each page is like opening the closet of someone cooler, richer, and definitely more committed than you. We’re talking walls of shoes, custom racks, and enough Adidas boxes to build a small guesthouse. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry (when you realize your most prized pair isn’t even top 500), and you’ll seriously question if your living room really needs that couch more than another shelf of kicks. Buy it if: • You’ve ever referred to your sneakers as “my babies” • You’ve hidden a delivery box from your partner • Or you just want juicy sneaker porn without judgment 10/10. A must-have. Or as sneakerheads say… “Cop it before it’s gone.”

Gorgeous book
The cover alone is a beautiful metallic. I did not realize when purchasing. It’s a very heavy, good quality book. I’m sure my nephew or any enthusiast of sneakers will enjoy this. I definitely recommend.

Wonderful Gift
I typically don’t purchase items that have little to no reviews, but I took a chance and bought this as a gift for my sneakerhead boyfriend. We saw it in the bookstore, and I was please to see it on Amazon. It came on time, and was wrapped so as not to have the pages get damaged during transport. Very happy with this purchase!

The Holy Grails Of Sneaker Books
Sneaker Freaker makes sneaker books intended for sneakerheads but so much more. The quality is outstanding, from the power to the pictures to the print, it’s all good. The book weighs about 8-10 pounds, which is ridiculous for a book. It could anchor a house! This particular version of a Sneaker Freaker book, I was less sure of than ‘The Ultimate Sneaker Book’ as this was based on other people’s collections, but it’s still a great book. You live vicariously through these collections, from the dusty old boxes found in deadstock stores to the girls who have over 6000 pairs. It’s a very cool book!
