I’ve reviewed some NB x Concepts collabs before, but none that are at this level of dopeness. The New Balance 999 Concepts SEAL is based off of the OTB Abyss II high-performance boot used by US Navy SEALs.

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:
New Balance 574 Navy & Grey M574BGS Review
I’ve reviewed a few pairs of 574 on this site before, but usually they are collabs or NB1s (IDs). These New Balance 574 Navy & Grey (M574BGS) are a great example of just how far $50 will get you with New Balance, as I found these on a super sale!

I’m back again with some more 1999 dunk high LE. Being a collector of dunks, I have quite a few of these vintage “be true to your school” dunks. SB heads and dunk fiends alike should recognize the slightly boxier shape and all leather construction.

Anyone that follows my blog knows I’m a Saucony fiend, and the 5000 is one of my favorite models. These Saucony Shadow 5000 Bodega Teal are one of my latest pickups and I couldn’t wait to get them on feet and do this review!

After selling off my other pairs of this model, I wasn’t sure if I needed it again in my collection. Then, the Asics Gel Kayano Trainer Corydalis Blue went on sale for $50 shipped and made my decision for me!
