Years have passed since ZIM was last spotted. Or maybe months? Definitely an amount of time, during which Dib, the only human on earth who knows ZIM’s true identity, has grown more and more obsessed with discovering ZIM’s whereabouts. Dib has also grown… well, he’s grown. He’s very large now. He’s fused to his chair, he smells bad, and his sister hates him. Of course, that last part was always true.
"ZIM's latest doomsday plot is foiled when GIR goes haywire and tries to kill everyone in sight! (But especially Zim. He kinda deserves it.) Diagnostics reveal that the malfunction is due to a virus, forcing Zim to do the one thing he never thought he'd have to-Go Inside Gir's Brain. Where nothing works and everything is exactly at GIR's level of nonsense. And when ZIM discovers that the virus was created and implanted by a being known only as Virooz from the planet Cyberflox... well hey, let's not give away too much, alright?"--Amazon.com.

A cultural history of sneakers, tracing the footprint of one of our most iconic fashions across sports, business, pop culture, and American identity When the athletic shoe graduated from the beaches and croquet courts of the wealthy elite to streetwear ubiquity, its journey through the heart of American life was just getting started. In this rollicking narrative, Nicholas K. Smith carries us through the long twentieth century as sneakers became the totem of subcultures from California skateboarders to New York rappers, the cause of gang violence and riots, the heart of a global economic controversy, the lynchpin in a quest to turn big sports into big business, and the muse of high fashion. Studded with larger-than-life mavericks and unexpected visionaries—from genius rubber inventor, Charles Goodyear, to road-warrior huckster Chuck Taylor, to the feuding brothers who founded Adidas and Puma, to the track coach who changed the sport by pouring rubber in his wife's waffle iron—Kicks introduces us to the sneaker's surprisingly influential, enduring, and evolving legacy.
