For those of who don’t already…read the kicks ass magazine “SNEAKER FREAKER”, its god damn awesome. It’ll keep you on point with whats going on in the sneaker/hip hop ands skate world.

Let me tell about something I read in the latest issue (vol.11)…

Now I know I’m a snob or whatever, I hate chavs, but in the latest issue of Sneaker Freaker, journalist Nikolai was wondering one night after watching CSI how they tracked people using only shoe imprints, so it dawned on him that there must be a big computer database somewhere with hundreds of sneaker imprints so thay can recognise models. After speaking to Laura Mackin at the Forensic Science Service Labs and Prof. James Fraser at the University of Strathclyde, it was found that over 20,000 different shoe prints are on record with over 90% of them being sneakers.

So with this in mind, a top 10 list of most common sneakers worn in UK crime was put together. Read on…

1. Nike Air Max 95
2. Reebok Classic
3. Nike Air Max Limited
4. Nike Air Max Plus 1
5. Nike Air Classic BW
6. Nike Air Max 90
7. Reebok Classic Workout Plus
8. Reebok Classic Ripple 3
9. Nike Tennis Classic/Court Tradition
10. Adidas Superstar

Apart from the Superstars (of which I was shocked and ashamed about), do you notice a pattern? Exactly! All chav shoes! Proving that chavs are robbing bastards and wear punk ass kicks! I’m not a sneaker snob then, it’s been scientifically proven!
So as if you needed any other reason, but don’t wear any of these!

You can find the full article in Sneaker Freaker Vol.11 available online and at Size? shoe stores across the country.
