Bondi Vans Bowl-A-Rama Turns 10 Pt 2; Sydney

More images from this weekend's Sydney Vans Bowl-A-Rama - with today's set focusing more on the colourful array of people that flocked to this iconic event, including the guys at the incredible Pretty Shady team - if you've not been following their work then check it out!

Pack your passport and get ready for a journey back to the Northern Hemisphere, as we'll be heading back to Europe tomorrow with more content from the streets of London!

2013 Round Up; September

September saw some great new product drop and I was invited to shoot some exclusive content to showcase it.

Starting with the Vans x Chima Ferguson signature skate shoe (stills from which went out in August), I was also able to put together the above video.

This was followed by stills shoots for the retro inspired drops of the ASICS GT-Cool pack, and the Puma Trinomic XT-2 Plus.

In both cases they are re-releases of OG shoes from the 90's but they looked as good in 2013 as they did back in the day and in all cases are shoes that I loved.  What a month!

2013 Round Up; February

Feb saw more cosmopolitan content with IDYSM travelling between London, Sydney and Melbourne.
Starting with Sydney, the 2013 Vans Bowl-a-Rama saw the iconic Bondi skate bowl attract a global crowd, and I was honoured to shoot skate legend Steve Caballero.
Melbourne and London offered up some amazing eclectic street findings (as always), and in Feb I was also privileged to showcase the video content I Directed for Vanishing Elephant's fantastic Autumn '13 campaign.

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.
