By now everyone knows that Nike’s Irreverence Justified actually does exist an that this book isn’t a myth. The book was printed in Monnickendam, the Netherlands and is number 0114 in an edition of 2000. The book was bound in the Hague, the Netherlands, with PU Gold Sparkle Leather code number Gold 6002, which is the same material used for the shoes in which Michael Johnson set the 200m World Record.

The Irreverence Justified bible is the most complete book on Nike trainers, from the day Nike started till 2000. Nike didn’t include all shoes, because as they say “we would have never finished the book”. That’s why they left some symbolic white pages so we’ll know there is much more to come!
