Sneaker Freaker: Magazine Issue #44
Sneaker Freaker is back with issue #44 and what a way to end 2020! Our cover story is the Virgil Abloh-designed Louis Vuitton X408. Inspired by Terminator 2, L.A. Gear, Converse Fastbreaks and Billie Jean have the brutal high-tops intricate fiber optics that light up at the touch of a button. As a special bonus, this number features a holographic rainbow LV logo effect!
The X408 concept is detailed in our 20-page Virgil Abloh feature, which also covers everything from his Sneaker Freaker Issue 3 debut to why he signed Lucien Clarke to a Louis Vuitton skate deal.
Virgil is not the only well-known designer in the issue. We also sat down with AMBUSH® Co-Founder Yoon Ahn as well as Versace's VP of Sneakers and Men's Shoes Salehe Bembury to find out more about their comings and what they have in store for 2021.
And that's just the half of it! The back of the shoe is a tribute to the pioneers who helped lay the foundation for modern sneaker culture. Neal Heard caught The Duffer of St George boys raiding sports shops across Europe and America and selling the loot through their London store in the late 80s.
There's so much more in this issue, so grab a copy now!
