Here we have a classic shoe from the silver box era of dunk SB’s, the Nike Dunk Low SB Bison. The shoe has little to do with the Street Fighter 2 character and instead gets its nickname from the colorway.

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:

I wore a 2006 retro of these a lot! Once the air bubble fogged up, I was glad I had this newer pair of Air Jordan 5 Grape on ice, ready to UNDS! The shoe is based on an original pair of V’s and gets its name from the colorway. An easy way to tell between retros is the blue tint to the icy outsole (or lack thereof).

I’ve rocked some fancy Stans before, but in this case I wanted something closer to the classics. These Adidas Stan Smith Vintage definitely fit the bill!
