Buy Made for Skate: The Illustrated History of Skateboard Footwear
from Amazon

‘Fascinating’ is the best way to describe this illustrated history of skateboarding footwear. But this isn’t just for sneakerheads.

Complete with a limited-edition cover from Element, the book takes you from when kids rode barefoot on planks of wood strapped to roller-skates through to million-dollar endorsements, putting skateboarding into context and showing just how far it’s come. But let’s not forget the shoes, all those awesome shoes: the Dunks, the Half Cabs, the All Stars.

Open up a page and you’ll find a pair of kicks you rocked all those years ago, and you can’t help but smile as the memories come flooding back.
