The Nike SB Dunk Low Songkran (Som Tum) is a culturally inspired release celebrating Songkran, Thailand’s traditional New Year festival typically held in April. This SB Dunk Low skate shoe pulls from food, street culture, and everyday materials tied to Thai life, resulting in a detailed, wheat-style colorway that blends storytelling with wearable design.

So, what’s the deal with the sneaker collection (Seinfeld Voice)? Right around 2008, I’d just lost a lot of weight and was in need of an entirely new wardrobe. I was in the process of buying newer, smaller clothes and the time came for a new pair of shoes. Rather than pick some ordinary pair like I normally would, I opted for a more interesting and unique looking pair. The response from others was so strong and positive that I decided to look more into the different kinds of cool sneakers and discovered that collecting sneakers is similar to collecting comics, baseball cards, or any other of the numerous hobbies I had when I was a kid! I’ve been into sneakers ever since – to the extent that I even got an article written about me in the paper! I’ve also been collector of the month in Solecollector Magazine (issue #47)!
I built up a lot of my collection looking for deals on slept-on pairs! I also post deals I find on this very site when I have time.
As for the photography aspect, check out any Sneaker related websites (there are many), and you will typically find posts filled with awesome, artsy footwear shots. I like learning about cameras and taking interesting shots, and it turns out there are actually sites online where you can get recognized for both your collection and photography skills at the same time! You can check out some of my most recent shots below. If you’re curious, I currently shoot with a Nikon D3100 (Amazon link) and mostly use a 50mm lens.
My eBay account is where I list my current sneakers available for sale (if I happen to be selling any).
Here are some quick links to different categories of sneakers:
Nike SB Air Force 1 Light Orewood Brown Review
The Nike SB Air Force 1 Light Orewood Brown takes the classic Air Force 1 and reworks it through a skateboarding lens, similar in concept to other SB crossovers like the SB-modified Air Max models. This pair gets its name from the colorway and presents a clean, neutral look that works well as both a skate shoe and casual lifestyle sneaker.

The Nike Air Force 1 Heat Map gets its name from temperature-style graphics applied across the upper, particularly towards the rear of the shoe, giving this classic lifestyle sneaker a vibrant, almost digital look. These released in a pack alongside a black-based pair. It’s a more playful take on the Air Force 1, using bold gradients to stand out compared to more traditional colorways.

The Nike Air Force 1 Patent Leather Safety Orange is another bold take on the classic Air Force 1, getting its name directly from the bright, high-visibility orange colorway applied across the upper. Much like other patent leather AF1 releases, this pair leans into a glossy, eye-catching look that turns a classic lifestyle sneaker into something much louder and more statement-driven. These also up the ante with thick white rope laces.
