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:
Reebok Instapump Fury Review
I haven’t bought some Reeboks since I was into getting multiple colorways of basic Reebok Classics. I was never really sure if I liked any other Reebok models, and the Reebok Instapump Fury never really appealed to me back in the day. Sometimes though you can suddenly see things in a new light!

After picking up the final pair in the AF1-B pack, I wasn’t sure what the next Forces were going to be for the collection. The Nike Air Force 1 Acorn is a direct retro of a 2002 release. When the originals dropped, many assumed they were a Euro exclusive, although they eventually released at outlets in the US.

I’ve been on a roll with the dunk pickups lately. The Nike SB Dunk Low Celadon is seemingly based on the early ’90s Nike ACG Caldera Plus hiking boots. Meanwhile, the Red Plums are based off the 1992 “Plum” ACG Air Terra release.
