I picked up another copy of Bobbito Garcia's "Where'd You Get Those? - New York City's Sneaker Culture: 1960-1987" ...first released in '03, has become the unofficial bible of (real) sneaker fiends.
Bobbito and crew wax-nostalgic about "the most seminal and coveted joints" from '60 to '87 (the Golden Years!). A comprehensive and informative study of shoe culture, as well as an anthropological journey through the era (Hip-hop and B-Boys, Street Ball, Graf, etc.).
It's one of the few books, that if I see it in a bookshop, I just feel like pickin' it up...this ones a TP, and is for a mate of mine, to school 'im a bit in the game...(and try to get 'im out of his Sperry top-siders)
