Most people probably insta-passed on the Nike Dunk High SB Obsidian Team Orange but I had to grab them. Navy/Orange is one of my favorite color combinations and I didn’t have it in a high yet. Some assign the “Syracuse” nickname to these, however this is a bit confusing as there are already some Syracuse SB Dunk Highs from the BTTYS pack.

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:
Air Jordan 1 Mid Nouveau Anthracite Review
Everybody slept on the Air Jordan 1 Mid Nouveau Anthracite, but I believe if the “Nike Air” Air Jordan 1s never came out, these would have gotten more attention

I remember obsessing about the Nike Lebron X Dolphins colorway when it first dropped. Although the inspiration for this shoe is (ironically) based off of a sunset on South Beach, most refer to these as the “Dolphins” colorway due to the similarity in colors with the Miami football team. Aftermarket sites seem to call these Dolphins or Setting Suns.

This Nike Dunk Low SB x Atlas collaboration came in two flavors; this particular version is the wider release, while in-store versions sold at the San Mateo skateshop have additional details and packaging, not to mention a different colorway.

The Nike Dunk Low SB Gulf Of Mexico isn’t a quickstrike, but it is a collaboration with Plus Skateshop. The colorway is supposed to represent a view of the Gulf of Mexico with light sandy beaches, pale blue water and a clear horizon line (shown on the midsole)
