SNEAKERS – The Upper Soleciety started out in early 2008 as a rather vague brainchild with a lot of potential but no real direction, transformed into the idea of a low-budget fanzine and finally hit the streets in january 2009 with a full-on professional quarterly format including not only the latest news of the sneaker-worlds but also background stories on labels, shops and styles, interviews with artists and designers, unique photo-shootings, cultural-kicks studies and the not-so-usual this-and-that?s. With a circulation of 35.000 copies sold all over germany, austria and switzerland we truly rule the sole with a lot of soul!
