Some German skate heads I know (what up, Dirk) put in the time and created an amazing book about the history of skate shoes. Nike SB has decided to help push their product by sponsoring an exhibition at the Nike SB pop-up store in good ol’ Amsterdam.

But you could have read as much from the flyer.

I’ll go out on a limb and say you can expect a lot of shoe designers to trace some “new” designs from the rare historical artifacts these dudes dug up.
