Founded in 2002 by Simon \"Woody\" Wood — first conceived, by his own admission, as a scheme to score free shoes — it grew out of the DIY punk-fanzine tradition into the definitive print voice of global sneaker culture without losing its irreverent, self-made spirit. This issue closes out the decade, carrying the magazine's blend of release coverage, brand and collector features, interviews and photography across the era's key names, from Nike and New Balance to Reebok and Converse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eIts defining detail is the cover: the New Balance 850 in Sneaker Freaker's own \"Skippy\" colourway — the magazine's in-house SF × New Balance collaboration, first teased the issue before — which makes this a self-referential, collector-minded edition rather than a straight brand cover. As ever for the period, the issue was printed with several cover variants sharing the same interior. A representative snapshot of sneaker culture at the end of the 2000s, and a desirable back issue for the SF × NB tie-in.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Direct","offers":[{"title":"Second-hand (fair condition)","offer_id":58252019007823,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2424\/8147\/files\/SneakerFreaker_17.jpg?v=1784306498","url":"https:\/\/www.legrandj.eu\/products\/sneaker-freaker-17","provider":"Le Grand Jeu","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
