{ Sneaker Freaker - Issue 5 +Site Update! }

Issue 5 of Sneaker Freaker is currently in circulation and has been pulling props from sources as diverse as NYLON magazine, Josh Rubin's CoolHunting.com and that new-fangled MusicTeleVision the kids are all raving about. We're happy as hell for Woody and the gang at SF, as credit is finally being given where it's long overdue. The new ish dishes the same level of quality and depth of coverage we've come to expect, all with an eye on the international market by way of Oz. They've even released a limited edition gold-plated variant cover of issue 5 that includes some sweet extras and inserts. I totally would have posted a picture of it, but it blings so hard it would have burned the eyes right out of your sockets, and I just can't have that on my conscience. Sneaker Freaker has also worked some miracles with their web-re-design, and the site is now radically easier to cruise, peruse and enjoy. This means that those of you who haven't been able to find SF locally can now order a copy (along with some swank Sneaker Freaker tees) trouble-free from the new "Shoppe" section. They've also added tons of content, so you can check out articles and interviews from previous issues, an online gallery of customs, and a host of other special features designed to assist you in getting your (sneaker) freak on. I insist that everybody check out the sweet-ass entries that piled up in the Sneaker Freaker / Tiger Beer-sponsored Kustom 99 contest. Nick Kailola's "Cybernetic Organism Model T-800" Nike Terminator Hi-Top Customs are the rightful winner. These fucking things have to be seen to be believed. I hold them up as proof to anyone who questions the validity of sneaker customization as a true art form.
