Soled Out

The Soled Out Limited Edition features a premium vintage denim-inspired cover that riffs on the book’s retro aesthetic. Please note only two copies per customer can be purchased. A riotous, 720-page celebration of sneakers and sporting legends, as told through the medium of vintage print advertising. More than a decade in the making, Soled Out is the definitive — and only — collection of sneaker advertisements from the footwear industry’s golden age. Lovingly written and compiled by Simon ‘Woody’ Wood, founder of the legendary Sneaker Freaker magazine, this colossal volume combines nearly 900 vintage images with a punchy narrative full of insider stories and historical revelations. Featuring superstar athletes and cultural icons such as Andre Agassi, Paula Abdul, Bo Jackson, Bugs Bunny, Michael Jordan, MC Hammer, and Shaquille O’Neal, every page is laced with classic sneaker models, unforgettable graphics, and outrageous trash talk. Sit back and enjoy the spectacular scenery ahead as Soled Out powers through a 720-page marathon celebration of the rubber, leather, and mesh we wear on our feet.
