Description
TASCHEN · Illustrated Book
The book that turns sneakers into culture – 680 pages for the genuinely obsessed.
Sneaker Freaker was the first magazine of its kind – and has been at the forefront of the global sneaker scene for nearly two decades. The Ultimate Sneaker Book by TASCHEN brings together the best of the magazine and content created exclusively for this volume: 680 pages, hardcover, 21 × 31.5 cm, 3.15 kg – with fresh photography, immense historical detail and the kind of collector-level depth that true enthusiasts will recognise immediately. The Guardian called it “A coffee table classic for rubber sole obsessives.” That about covers it.

Questions & Answers
What is Sneaker Freaker?
Sneaker Freaker was the world’s first magazine dedicated exclusively to sneakers – founded in Australia, the defining voice of the global sneaker scene for nearly twenty years. It set trends before hype existed and was the first publication to treat sneakers as a genuine cultural phenomenon rather than sportswear.
What makes this book different from other sneaker books?
No other publication combines the archive of one of the most influential sneaker media ever with content created exclusively for TASCHEN – redesigned across 680 pages with fresh photography and collector-grade detail. Forbes calls it “filled with facts, observations and insider knowledge.” Esquire names it “a 650-page bible on all things in trainer culture.”
Do I need to be a sneaker enthusiast to enjoy this book?
It helps – but the book goes far beyond a product catalogue. It’s cultural history, design analysis and photography collection in one. Anyone interested in pop culture, streetwear, sport or the aesthetics of everyday objects will find a reference work that holds its own without prior sneaker knowledge.
Does it work as a coffee table book?
The Guardian put it this way: “A coffee table classic for rubber sole obsessives.” At 21 × 31.5 cm and 680 pages, The Ultimate Sneaker Book has exactly the format and weight that makes a statement on a designer’s table. TASCHEN’s consistently high production quality is a given.
Who is this book a good gift for?
Ideal for sneakerheads, streetwear fans and anyone who understands Nike, adidas, New Balance or Jordan as cultural artefacts – but also for design lovers, pop-culture enthusiasts and anyone who wants to add a genuinely substantial piece to their coffee table. A particularly well-received gift at Christmas, for birthdays or graduations.
