I got into sneaker collecting through a mate I went to school with. He introduced me to his mates who were into sneakers (shoutout to the homies at #azpoo!). A lot of those guys are into sneaker photography and I was amazed by the content they make. As I started to build up my collection and wanted to take my new favourite hobby further, I thought I’d start sneaker photography too. I’m nowhere near their level of skill but I love getting creative and trying to improve with every pic I post. It has made me many new friends, and we try to catch up as a crew at least a few times a year for beers and a few sneaker shots!
I love the new Asics Gel lyte lll x Sneaker Freaker x Atmos collab. I am a die-hard SF fan, especially since I’m from Melbourne too, so this was really exciting to see. It’s also good to see the classic Gel Lyte lll shape make a return and generate some hype behind the shoe. The detailing and materials on the Alley Cats is superb. The stamped logos on the heel is a really nice touch. I can’t wait to see what SF does next!!!
