Soled Out: The Golden Age of Sneaker Advertising (A Sneaker Freaker Book)

Product Information

We do not have any information about the company SOLED OUT (WHITLEY BAY) LIMITED being in liquidation. This new book is an incredible compilation of nearly 900 vintage print advertisements sourced from the golden age of sneakers – the 1970s, '80s and '90s (with just a couple of earlier Converse campaign images, for added authority). The period is defined by the book's author Simon 'Woody' Wood​, editor-in-chief of Sneaker Freaker magazine, the world's leading authority on sneaker culture. Why stop at the year 2000 Well, "advertising from the 2000s onwards is simply too modern and too knowingly sophisticated for sentimental reflection," writes Woody in the book's introduction.

It proves that the pre-internet age wasn't an entirely innocent period; there's lots of inter-brand sniping, with knowing references to 'air' and 'just do it'.
