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
