Sneaker Freaker 6 by Josh Rubin
The 6th issue of the Australian Sneaker Freaker magazine arrived here yesterday and it's hands down the best so far. It's got a great balance eye candy and head candy, with stories ranging from the history of Vans to the reality of opening your own kick boutique. This time around there's a more diverse range of brands represented and lots of styles not previously seen elsewhere. It's a must read for casual collectors and hard core enthusiasts alike.
