Top Marks: Sydney

As the Head Judge of the skate competition that I featured earlier this week, Barry has been skating since 1978 and with sneakers being so deeply ingrained into the skating culture they have been a huge part of his life.
From a young age he had to learn how to skate using alternate feet as pushing off on the same foot repeatedly would wear through his shoes.
A big fan of high tops, the iconic 2007 Vans Sk8 Hi Hosoi Part 2 kicks he had on have clearly been well worn and well loved for some time and work perfectly with his distinct style.
Unfortunately my time with Barry was cut short as he was called off to judge the last skating heat of the day, but he left me by saying that he has kept every pair of shoes he has ever had.  Now that's what I call a sneaker fan, and if I was judging Barry I would give him (you guessed it)...top marks.
