Emilio x Nike Shox; Sydney

Sometimes clothes are not needed to make a look and with his clearly visible commitment to body art Emilio's use of sneakers as a mere accessory has the power to Shox (sorry for the pun).
Spotted at Bondi Beach, as he was soaking up some summer sun his use of sneakers caught my eye.  I often spot shoes being used as a centrepiece to a look either stylistically or for practical use, but here as Emilio showed off his ink, his shoes were relegated to a mere support role.
They boomed in the early 2000's you don't see many Nike Shox these days, but Emilio is a repeat customer loving the rarity of the shoe which makes them stand out.  Yes, they do stand out, but I'm not sure they're the most obvious thing about Emilio's look as the inking is pretty epic.  
By his own admission he's in too deep with body art.  The star on his head is his pick of his bold tattoo collection (and also the most painful), and he has no plans to stop now with his legs the next canvas to be worked on, more colour, more flair, and more art for his shoes to accessorise.

Alex; Sydney

Commitment is the first word that sprang to mind when I met Alex on the street's of Bondi, as his dedication to tatto'ing and body art is up there with, and maybe beyond anyone else I have met on my travels.

Originally from Bristol in the UK, he moved to Sydney 2 weeks ago and with him has brought some serious inking with him - the only exceptions are his back and legs, and these are being looked at as we speak as he sources different artists in Sydney to contribute to covering the only remaining parts of him that are uninked (even the palms of his hands have had work!).

With such an eye-catching look, his taste for sneakers is quite clean and simple and can be summed up in one word; Vans.  He likes the fact they'e comfy and look great when they're old and battered and admits that he likes the contrast of simple shoes against his colourful look as something more 'out there' might clash.

Despite the simplicity of Alex's black Van's Era's they certainly play their part in a colourful and eye-catching look.

Mikey; Sydney

A visibly colourful character, I spotted Mikey one morning in Bondi as he was waiting for his crew to arrive ahead of shooting a music video.

He is a cameraman so spends all day on his feet, and whether he is at work lugging heavy camera equipment around, or at home chilling with his skateboard Vans are a brand he finds can cater for all needs. 

In terms of a demanding workload, Mikey is a cameraman on the ever-entertaining Channel 9 morning programme, The Today Show and  I was assured to hear that iconic anchorman Karl Stefanovic is raring to go for Pedestrian.tv's 'We Want To Have A Beer with Karl Stefanovic' campaign.  Vote here now if you haven't already, as I for one would love the chance to share a beer with the legend that is Karlos!
