Sneaker Freaker 2019 - Issue 42

With over 200 pages chockablock with monster features and white-hot sneaker heat, Issue 42 of Sneaker Freaker will keep sneakerheads busy for days!

In our standout feature, Christian Tresser – la don of Dons! – reviews the Nike Air Zoom Spiridon he designed in 1997. The Spiridon collector feature with Morgan Weekes in the UK adds form to the sleek Zoom Air function.

Staying in the 1990s, the adidas Ozweego and New Balance 850 are both graduates of 1996. In the former’s case, we pieced together every iteration since day one, while an interview with 850 designer Stephanie Howard reveals the true story behind that missing ‘N’ logo.

We also take a trip to toytown for back-to-back features. In Perth, Josh De Vaney’s insane $100k collection of Jordan memorabilia inspired a true life detective story that saw him travel tens of thousands of miles to Ohio to prove his point. On the flipside is Duane Perera. A native of Toronto, his ingenious IG project known as ‘Duane Shoots Toys’ is a kooky carnivale that stars Obama, MJ (both of them), Super Mario, Buzz Lightyear and the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

Chi Modu also talks us through his favourite photos of rap’s golden years. From Snoop to Tupac, he shot ‘em all! Check our limited edition cover with Eazy-E rocking adidas Campus on the hood of his Impala!

In other news, Dan Natola takes us on a guided tour of Bodega’s witty sneaker posters. We also catch up with Rustyler, whose IG feed looks more like a cookbook than a sneaker store, and Richie Culver, who coats counterfeit sneaks in concrete, all in the name of art.
