What do you do in the summer in England? You sit indoors, watching the rain run down the window staring at your suede shoes that you've now got to put away.
This can help your blues when putting those gems away, as you'll be able to flick through the wonderful images of the shoes of yesteryear, including the Air Max 95, as we used to know them, and not like those seen on todays market.
More importantly, it gives you a reason to go out and buy a book, I can count on one hand the amount of books I've bought in the past five years, and three fingers are taken up by footwear books
The book gives you a run through of "trainer tribes", looking at the likes of the Football Casuals and the Hip Hop Gangs of NYC, which I'm pretty sure we are all familiar with.
But Neal has also worked in a lot of things the average Joe would not know of, such as these beautiful LCS Space
Most books have got love stories, or murders, plots and happy endings, but this book is just page after page of happy endings. With wonderful trainers on every other page, and regular intervals with words of wisdom and experiences from the likes of Adi collector Robert Brooks
Each day, since purchasing this book from the Northern launch in Transalpino based in Liverpool, I have been buried in this book of a lunch time in work, sparking conversations about trainers with surgeons and doctors of all people. Chatting about old football boots, football kits, retro fashion coming back into the modern day wardrobe, its just great. All that from a book.
Page after page of classics, and early over teched models makes the book a right page turner, even for those not massive on reading.
I can't really big this book up more than already done. You should really buy it.
It is available from Carlton Books priced at £19.99
