Chima Ferguson x Vans Video BTS

Thanks for the great feedback on the Vans x Chima Ferguson vid from a few weeks ago (see here).

Here are some shots from behind the scenes of the vid's shoot.  Big thanks to Anthony De Sylva for sharing his skating skills.

Exclusive; Chima Ferguson x Vans Signature Pro Shoe

Everyone's sneaker story is of interest to me on I Dig Your Sole Man, but when someone makes the journey from the Sydney suburbs, to becoming a world name, and landing the Holy Grail of having a Signature Pro shoe named after them it's guaranteed to get my interest.
Case in question is Australian skater Chima Fergusons, whose first signature Vans Pro skate shoe has generated a lot of interest around the world, and   I was lucky enough to get some exclusive time with the supreme skater to discuss what skating means to him, and how stoked he is to be involved with a shoe collab like this.
Overlaid with vision of a skater wearing the shoes, the video showcases inner city skating in Sydney, the city where it all began for Chima.

A big thanks to Anthony De Sylva, and Music; Sydney - On The Run by Dupree.

Induro Hi Hat

For the sneaker heads, bear with me...kicks do get a mention, but read on first.
I should start this post with an apology, as this is something I have been meaning to post for a while, but the irony is that I have been using this product so much lately, I haven't had a chance to stop and write about it!
Through my work I get the chance to work with a lot of new and exciting gear, but to find something I use nearly everyday is quite rare.
That however changed when the good folks at Induro in the US decided to share their latest fantastic tripod with me. The Hi Hat is a small tabletop tripod, built with the same high level quality of all Induro tripods, but in s smaller table top size, making it perfect for a lot of the content I shoot, including pack shots for stills and video ( I even had a slider rigged on this a couple of days ago) and even some reportage street shots too.
Versatile, robust and easy to include within your kit, the product has become a mainstay of my kit and if you're looking for something small, strong and agile to keep your low level shooting legit then I can't recommend this product enough.
A big thanks to Chris Gampat The Phoblographer Induro Tripods INDURO PRO and to Converse Converse Australia for the fantastic Missoni collab Auckland Racers that modelled so beautifully for these shots.
