Sole Collector's latest iPad Issue is out now, including a full timeline of the Penny V design process, every Dunk SB ever, Nate Robinson's sneaker closet and tons more.

We’ve covered quite a bit in this issue, but we might as well start with what’s on the cover. For the very first time, we offered up the chance to purchase a shoe exclusively through our iPad issue.

We helped launch the Zoom Rookie LWP back in October of last year with our Vegas event, and we recently offered an exclusive version of the infamous Galaxy colorway of the shoe, available right on the iPad within this very issue. It’s exciting to not only be able to offer an exclusive shoe, but also a new way of releasing it.

That’s just a small part of this issue, though. We’ve also got an in-depth look at the next shoe in the Penny line: The Air Penny V. It’s a shoe we’ve been covering since the very idea came about – not coincidently, the very same day Penny was shown samples of the Zoom Rookie LWP.

In this issue you’ll get an exclusive look at the entire creative process and each meeting that designer Marc Dolce had with Penny to discuss the shoe.

This year also marks a big anniversary for Nike Skateboarding: the 10th. And we’ve got a look at the entire history of the Dunk SB. Seeing them all in one place gives a unique perspective on how much the line has changed over those 10 years.

It’s come a long way since it’s heyday of catering (while not admitting it) to sneakerheads, to sitting on outlet shelves nowadays. We also have a special interview with the modern era’s Dunk Contest king, Nate Robinson. Our team headed out to his Seattle home for a look inside his sneaker closet, and even hit his Kryptonate-inspired court.

You’ll find a lot more too, like a preview of Reebok’s upcoming retro line, a review of the Lunar TR1, and a look back at all of Penny’s original signature shoes. Let us know what you think in the comments section!
