It didn't take long from working together to clock each other's shoes in the office each day, and from that the friendship grew, as yes, he was a fellow sneakerhead. However, he left Oz a few months ago, and due to conflicting diaries we couldn't meet up, that was until an overcast afternoon in London.when we caught up for a pint and the chance to talk shoes.
Tim's a very respected and influential figure in the broadcasting industry. He's behind some of the biggest formats you will see around the world, yet he doesn't allow his professional career dampen his love of contemporary fashion, meaning on the rare occasion he won't seal a deal in a high powered meeting, he can at least leave knowing he had the best shoes in the room.
Our friendship was built around a mutual fondness for New Balance, so I have to admit I was slightly surprised when he didn't turn up wearing NB's but he claims that these days the brand are becoming more commonplace on the UK high streets so he's looking to other brands that stand out a bit more.
So, it was a welcome surprise to see Tim wearing a pair of Redwings. The iconic, eye-catching and reliable brand's product is always on-trend and able to cope with whatever the elements throw at them; something Tim has to consider now he's braving the cold, wet and grey life of London (yes, the backdrop would have been more eye-catching if we had shot in Sydney, but if you squint you can pretend that's Sydney Harbour Bridge in the background if you like).
