Sneaker Freaker 8 by Josh Rubin

Issue8-Hufquake Issue8-Stussy Issue8-Zoommoire

Launched last night at Alife, Sneaker Freaker 8 may be the best issue so far. Mixed in with the usual photos of upcoming product are vignettes from past, present and future. There's also a complete lacing style guide that features 15 different patterns contributed by Ian Fieggen. This issue has several different covers in distribution featuring the Huf Earthquake Pack, Zoom Moire ID and the Stussy Court Force, plus one that was only available at the party last night—a Lacoste Missouri 85 Sneaker Freaker Edition. A few lucky folks even got one of 20 pair of the co-branded, minty fresh shoes pictured here.
