Sometimes finding and shooting people can be a hazardous experience, and this shoot was no exception.
Spotted at Federation Square in Melbourne, this couple were in town on holiday from Gothenburg in Sweden, and with limited luggage space only had room to pack 1 pair of shoes each - and after much thought, they both decided to go for the classics.
Both shoes work as a practical and cool choice - but while the All Stars speak for themselves the Adidas Wilhelm Bungert kicks need a brief explanation. Willhelm was a German tennis player from the 1960's, he wasn't a household name but Adidas wanted to give him a namesake shoe and came up with this design which is a cross between a Superstar and a Stan Smith.
As you can appreciate this is a lot of information to get from the brief chat I had with during this very quick shoot - and it wasn't helped by a gobby nearby street artist who saw me shooting the shoes and drew attention to what I was doing through his PA system much to the amusement of his on-looking crowd.
