New Arrivals Books section! They arrived today in our section culurale a series of books really do not miss here they are:
Sneakers sneakers sneakers! "Where'd You Get Those?" is an excellent book to discover their roots, a collection of models from the '60s to 1987, but above all the true story of every single shoe in the words of those who lived through that period. They're not just a catalog, but a real consecration written by a competent person (the author is a noted journalist and DJ). Each type of information and curiosity, a real fetish for fans or just curious: the first round of the first adicolor Nike Vandal, through advertisements and the first time customizations. Here there is everything. Judged the best book ever came out sneaker.
Shep Fairey continues to have an incredible success, in this book you will find 128 pages, more than 100 artworks virtually unprecedented: it is in practice a careful selection of the most recent works of Obey Giant, all in one volume manicured follows the route taken by the former Supply and Deamand. Highly recommended.
Made for Skate is a book that recounts with incredible care and precision the history of skate shoes. Nothing like the books of sneakers out so far, this volume extremely generous dimensions (the beauty of 400 pages!) Could not start from the birth of skateboarding. And believe it or not we went barefoot.
Muerte is the latest book by Mike Giant. After
The Skull Press Compendium and Giant this book contains some of the latest illustrations of the writer and tattoo artist statunitense: donne, lettering di altissimo livello e l'iconografia tattoo più classica si fondono generando degli autentici gioielli grafici a testimonianza della capacità di Giant di mostrare l'anima di tutte le cose che fa, oltre al fatto di farlo con una precisione ed uno stile impeccabile.
Dumbo è un personaggio indiscutiblimente importante della storia del writing italiano, uno dei più amati e odiati, odiato soprattutto da chi non ha mai sopportato di vedere il suo nome in ogni angolo di Milano da metà degli anni '90 ad oggi, nonchè sui pannelli dei treni sulle Ferrovie Nord e sulla metro rossa e verde. Con l'attiutudine del vero bomber, quello che passa notti intere solo a fare tag per la città, ha raggiunto una discreta fama in tutta Europa, e come vederemo con questo libro, non solo.
Frutto dell'abilità fotografica di Josh Cheuse degli ultimi 25 anni, Rockers Galore presenta immagini mai viste di grandi nomi della musica come Joe Strummer, Beastie Boys, The Specials, Run DMC e molti altri ancora, come Oasis, Ian Brown, Black Crowes e Big Audio Dynamite. Le foto, tutte in maxi formato e rigorosamente in bianco e nero, sono assolutamente imperdibili. Edizione limitatissima per questo primo libro edito da Stussy Books.
Wild Style The Sampler, un libro che si potrebbe considerare un detailed note of the backstage film, but not limited to: the film's story is told with passion by the same Charlie Ahearn, since its release to the feedback received throughout the world that had Wild Style, and of course a series of photos and artwork never seen before, archival material and personal stories.
