Overview
The contemporary athletic shoe has experienced an evolution comparable to man. What began as necessity matriculated to style, then morphed into a culture with its own multicultural identity. Sole Food, through the vehicle of sneaker culture addresses societal ills, life and identity within that culture, and explores the overall impact and phenomenon of sneakers on a global level. Whether an aficionado of sneaker culture or a contentious observer, Sole Food takes the reader on a fantastic voyage with nary a pit stop or layover.

Reviews
"""I like it...I like it. Sole Food is fun and funny...and warm. We all need soul and we all need food. Sole Food does it all."" -Nikki Giovanni, Poet ""Sole Food is an evocative and inspiring book. We are reminded that the poetry of sports truly echoes from the tops of our heads to the soles of our feet.""-David Zirin, Author of a People's History of Sports in the United States and a contributor to Slam Magazine. ""It is an interesting look into the tales and thoughts of a genuine sneaker-head. Those who are part of the culture will fully enjoy and identify with King's work, and even those outside of the culture will be able to easily see what makes the sneaker-head tick. I am only disheartened by the fact that he loves and yearns for those ugly Ewings so much.""-DJ Fountz, Music Director/Mixshow Coordinator, WOWI-FM, Norfolk, VA"
