The Nike SB Dunk Low Nicole Hause is a clean and well-executed collab with Nike SB Team skater Nicole Hause. While this is a special collaboration, it sticks to the Purple Box era instead of the Sail Box often used for limited releases.

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 Air Max 1 86 Cosmic Clay Review
The Nike Air Max 1 ’86 Cosmic Clay sticks to a simple formula, embracing the classic Big Bubble silhouette without any elaborate backstory. Unlike the BRS Powerwall pair, these aren’t tied to Nike’s heritage. Instead, they’re all about that striking orange hue—hence the “Cosmic Clay” name.

The Nike Air Max Plus Voltage Purple brings some serious late ’90s energy with its bold color blocking. Most people consider these to be an OG colorway, although the backstory might be a bit more complicated. Regardless, in 2024 they came back again and I grabbed a pair!

The Nike Air Max Plus “Sunset” is one of those pairs that’s been around for decades but never really gets old. Originally dropping in 1998, this colorway has made its way back a few times over the years, with retros in 2014 and 2018. With this latest version, Nike brings it back with some slight tweaks—because of course they did. The gradient leans a little more yellow up top, and some of the reflective 3M hits from past versions have been swapped out.

The Nike Air Max 1 Evergreen is a clean and classic take on the Air Max 1 silhouette. Originally released in 2020, this colorway quickly became a bit of a hassle to grab, but fast forward five years, and I finally scooped a pair on discount. Safe to say, patience paid off.

The Nike Air Max 1 ’86 BRS Powerwall takes a beloved, hard-to-get colorway from the 2006 Powerwall series and gives it a modern twist on the Big Bubble silhouette. The original design was a tribute to Blue Ribbon Sports (BRS), Nike’s humble beginnings, and while some purists might prefer a straight-up retro, this updated version stands on its own with fresh details.
