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:

The Puma Basket x Butter Goods is a collaboration with Butter Goods, the Australian skate and streetwear brand founded in Perth in 2008. This pair originally ties back to a wider footwear and apparel rollout that kicked off in 2021, inspired by late ’90s and early 2000s sports advertising aesthetics. This specific Basket released in a follow-up pack the year after, shifting the focus toward Butter Goods’ strong connection to music culture.

The Adidas Intimidation Low x Packer Cyan Blue marks a proper return for one of Adidas’ weirder, more interesting late-’90s silhouettes, brought back through a thoughtful collaboration with Packer. Released alongside a darker counterpart and following up an earlier grey mid-top, this pair leans into bold color and nostalgia while still feeling wearable today.
