Nike has revealed a brand new monograph being published via Phaidon entitled “Nike: Better is Temporary“. Written by Sam Growe, the book focuses specifically on the iconic and ever-evolving design language utilized at Nike over the decades. The book is described as:

“…an unprecedented, behind-the-scenes exploration into Nike’s internal design philosophy. …Placing industry-defining innovations and globally-recognized products alongside previously unpublished designs, prototypes, insider stories, and more, the immersive visual survey reveals how Nike’s foundational dedication to “listening to the voice of the athlete” fuels its dogged pursuit of progress.”

As part of continued efforts in Nike’s Move To Zero carbon-neutral initiative, the book is bound in a hyper-minimalist, low-waste packaging composed of exposed cardboard covers and a non-woven jacket lining. The book will have a limited release this month via phaidon.com and select retailers with a wider release planned for January 25th, 2021.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
