Made For Skate - The Illustrated History of Skateboard Footwear tells the story of the evolution of the skate shoe, with insight from people who helped to not only popularise skating and the culture behind it, but shaped the future of skate shoe technology and fashion.   All the big skate names you would expect are featured in the book, from Etnies to Vans, from Airwalk to Duffs and it also features many one-of-a-kind shoes that were released through the nearly five decade history of skating.   A host of your favourite skaters are featured in the book including Stacy Peralta, Lance Mountain, Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen, Steve Caballero, Natas Kaupas, Don Brown, Paul Rodriguez, Chad Muska, Mike Vallely, Adrian Lopez, Mark Gonzalez, Tim Gavin, and many more....
