The Asics Gel-Venture 6 Shield x Hidden NY is one of the cleaner Hidden collabs to drop recently, and the “Wasabi” nickname fits perfectly with how fresh this pair looks. I’ve been keeping an eye on the Hidden NY x Asics series, and this colorway instantly stood out with its cool-toned palette and unique detailing.

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 Saucony ProGrid Triumph 4 Winter Solstice taps directly into the Y2K mesh runner resurgence, combining techy performance heritage with a bold lifestyle aesthetic. I’ve been a fan of Saucony’s Grid lineup for a while. With shiny overlays and a theme tied to the Winter Solstice itself, this pair stands out in the lineup alongside 2 other pairs in the “Moon Phase Pack”.
