Sneakers, Size Isn't Everything by Josh Rubin
Sneakers, Size Isn't Everything is a 1998 homage to the design, production and culture of Sneakers. It's a beautifully designed, highly visual book that covers brands big and small, and scans from Japanese school girls to LA gangs to Skater kids. It's a great glimpse at how much and yet how little has changed in the last 7 years.

Horse Play
Cloth-bound, gilt-edged and printed on matte paper, the new book called Horse Play tells the story of Streethorsing—the sport of riding horses in cities—with the highest of production values. Whether or not the obscure subculture actually exists, the tome is filled with unbelievable photos of horses doing skateboard-like tricks off railings and over barriers (challenging pro photoshop-spotters) and interspersed with snaps of minor celebs...

Sneaker Freaker, the Book
Culling the best of the first six editions of the bi-annual Sneaker Freaker, the book version is a convenient alternative to shelling out more than seven times the cover price for original back issues (if you can even find them) on Ebay. Following the same tried-and-true mix of interviews, profiles, and other editorial tidbits accompanied by drool-inducing images and printed on matte stock, the...

Nikki S. Lee

On the surface her work may seem like simple snapshots of various subcultures. In reality, each piece is comprised of extensive research and cultural assimilation. Prior to creating the photograph, in which she is always one of the subjects, Lee becomes...

So Yesterday
So Yesterday. It's an adventure mystery about a teenage cool hunter who stumbles upon the most amazing sneakers ever. Needless to say, I was skeptical. I finally got around to reading it (cover to cover in flight from San Francisco to New York) earlier this week and was pleasantly surprised. Westerfeld's witty yet simple writing weaves a fun story with a bit of cool...
