Questions & Answers
What does this book show – and how is it different from “The Ultimate Sneaker Book”?
The Ultimate Sneaker Book documents the history and design of the genre. World’s Greatest Sneaker Collectors goes one step further: it portraits the people behind it – their collections, their obsessions, their hunting stories. Julia Schoierer from Berlin, Super Lalla from Paris, Andre Ljustina from Los Angeles and many more. Supplemented by insider knowledge on storage, photography and spotting fakes.
What is the “Holy Grail” and why does the book revolve around it?
The “Holy Grail” is the one shoe every collector doesn’t yet own – the object of an endless hunt. The book shows what that search does to people: one collector spent 10 years acquiring 60 game-worn Jordans; another paid thousands for a Wu-Tang Dunk. The Observer: “Dive into the world of the sneaker enthusiast in Simon Wood’s excellent book.”
Does the book include practical content?
Yes. Beyond the collector portraits, the volume includes concrete guidance: how to photograph your collection, how to store sneakers long-term, and how to identify counterfeits. It works as both a high-gloss visual book and a practical handbook for serious collectors.
Who is this book a good gift for?
Ideal for anyone who doesn’t just wear sneakers but collects them – or at least dreams of it. Also for people who think they already know everything about sneakers: the collector stories from around the world offer new perspectives, genuine emotion and the kind of insider access no Instagram account provides.
Does it work as a coffee table book?
At 21 × 31.5 cm, 752 pages and 3.29 kg it is one of the weightiest volumes in the TASCHEN catalogue – in every sense. Vibe calls it “a treasure trove of glossy pictures.” TASCHEN’s print quality makes it an object that starts conversations on any table.
