Vans: Off the Wall: Stories of Sole from Van's Originals
pixeleye, 17:27h
"Off the Wall", the first book from Vans, tells the multi-generational story of Vans' do-it-yourself community, which encompasses boards, bikes, art and music, as well as the one shoe keeping it all together. With oral histories from Tony Alva, Joel Tudor, Neckface, Shepard Fairey, Sunny Garcia, Marc Jacobs, Steve Caballero, Stacy Peralta, Robert Williams, Oliver Peck, and others, "Off the Wall" provides an intimate, visually-stunning account of how the company changed the face of popular culture, since its founding in 1966. The book features photography by the top action-sports photographers in the world, including Bryce Kanights, Grant Brittain, Jeff Divine, and Trevor Graces, presented with an energetic design that evokes both punkzine aesthetic and California coastal cool.

Disposable 2 - A Skateboard Bible: A Skateboard Collector's Bible
pixeleye, 17:14h
With the release of "Disposable - A History of Skateboard Art" in 2004, author Sean Cliver made a brilliant attempt at artfully cataloging every important skateboard deck ever released. In the process, he created a classic, but was left feeling less than whole. Ever the completist, the gaping omissions in the first book gnawed at him and drove him to envision compiling 'the' ultimate encyclopedia of Skateboard decks. While "Disposable" was beautiful, capturing the essence of the aesthetic, "Disposable II" sets out to be the Bible. The author's industry insider status (in 1989, he landed his first job as a designer at Powell-Peralta) allow him to walk the reader through the culture, the art and the mania with authority. While the boards take centre stage, fascinating vignettes and recollections by a who's who of skateboarding round out the book.
