2013 Round Up; July

While July saw more content showcasing the vibrant sneaker scene in Perth, it also covered some Sydney events with some interesting new additions to the Sydney scene.

First up was the introduction of a new Spring Court pop up store, a store that added to the brand's already impressive retail arm in Australia.

Next was the launch of the Deus Customs x Converse Jack Purcell First String collab, and the launch event attracted an interesting crowd of all ages with bikers alongside models and young kids showing that sneakers really can bring the most extreme of people together.

Perth Round Up

A big thanks to Perth for an amazing trip that saw me meet some great people, unearth some great stories, and sizzle from some serious feet heat.  See you again soon WA, and here's my picks of the content from my time there, starting with of course the video I Directed, shot and Edited for Hypebeast x Reebok at Highs and Lows.
* Yes, the last shot has nothing to do with footwear or street culture - I just liked it.

Jared; Perth

A man with a taste for the classics, Jared see’s the sneaker world from both sides.  As a collector he has amassed a collection of a few hundred pairs of shoes, and this juxtaposes nicely with his job which see’s him selling shoes commercially.

His personal tastes are classic as he hunts down classic shoes from the early 90’s with OG colourways that capture the era.   Air Max, adidas Originals and Jordan retro’s are his firm footwear faves, but these Atmos x Nike Air Max 1’s show just how far he will go to get a shoe.

Collabs between the Japanese retailer Atmos and Nike always get the sneakerheads interested, and for Jared these shoes took some effort to get hold of as they can sell for between $800 - $1000 on eBay.

They’re highly sought after shoes that hold a proud place in Jared’s collection, but rather than hide them away he likes to wear them proudly.  He may sell shoes commercially, but when something priceless comes along Jared knows it’s worth holding onto and showing the sneaker world what he’s got.
