The Nike Air Max 1 University Blue are a basic, yet super clean colorway. The sneakers get their nickname from the colorway and are a GR (general release).

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 Dunk Low Dusty Olive Review
The Nike Dunk Low Dusty Olive are I believe part of the Ugly Duckling pack. The original pack from the early 2000s contained 3 colorways, and they all saw a retro in 2020. This pair is a new addition to the pack from 2021 that has the same type of materials and color usage as the other pairs. I lucked out on a random restock on the SNKRS app and finally managed to grab a pair.

The Nike Dunk Low Team Red are the latest re-release on the Nike site as far as Dunks go. I was glad to be able to take advantage this time around. They went from instantly selling out to full size run available on Nike’s website within the span of 2 years.

The Nike Dunk Low Racer Blue are very similar to the White/University Red colorway, except blue instead of red. I feel like these released a while ago, but they got a recent release on Finishline and I was able to easily scoop a pair.

The Nike Dunk Low Brazil originally released in 2001, and retro’d in 2020. I missed out on the retro back then, but didn’t feel pressed about it because I had the 2003 Brazil Highs in my stacks. Those don’t see a lot of wear these days thanks to my preference of low tops. Luckily, Nike decided to re-retro the Brazil lows for 2024!

Black and yellow is one of my favorite combinations on sneakers. While I do have the 1999 Iowa or “Goldenrod” hightops in my box stacks, I’ve yet to own a low top Dunk version of the colorway. Finally, I have a simple pair in the form of the Nike Dunk Low Reverse Goldenrod.
