Waiting For Autumn; Sydney

This shot isn't in keeping with my usual style, but I liked the way it turned out with it's subdued autumnal colouring which is consistent in everything in the shot from the trees to the guy's outfit.

Ice Cold Puma; Sydney

You may remember my recent preview of the exclusive Sydney pop-up store at the Atrium.  As the first ever Australian sneaker related pop-up store this history making innovation ends this Thursday - so get to the store quick to check out some amazing footwear and apparel.
And the exclusive's don't stop there as if you're in the mood to check out something completely different, then the Puma Freezy Freakies range is just for you; 4 different styles of shoe that change colour!

Your Exits Are Here and Here; Sydney

Originally from Seoul, this Air Hostess was in Sydney on a stopover as she strolled around in her chic outfit, punctuated with her simple and timeless All Stars.
At this time of year there is lovely subdued light around the city as Autumn takes a hold, and I loved the way that the light helped enhance her shy and reserved demeanor in these pics.
Her choice of footwear for all stopovers due to their practicality and comfort, she picked these

Volleys of the Ages; Melbourne

If you want to take in some good Aussie culture with a sneaker twist, then head to the Well Worn Volleys online exhibition.

Volley have been running their campaign over the past few months to find some examples of some of the most well worn and well loved iconic Aussie sneakers ever made, and online you can see the final 30 pairs of shoes with info on their stories.

My personal faves include the pair in the above pic which are steel toe safety Volleys which were painted by their owner to look like WW2 fighter planes!!

Hamish; Sydney

Hamish is a good friend of Hoops', who I met one weekend as they got in some skating practice in Sydney's Hyde Park.  

Hamish is sponsored by adidas, but despite their increasingly impressive Skateboard range he is always committed to wearing the same shoe, the classic Ciero.

He loves the shoes' classic style and has a variety of colourways, but through his hard skating each pair only lasts a couple of weeks before they get donated to the local charity store so expect to see Sydney's vintage clothing lovers wearing some barely worn classic 3 Stripes in Hamish's neighbourhood.

Getting Around Town; Sydney

Hoops; Sydney

 

Sydney's Hyde Park has always been a hotspot for skaters, and in meeting Hoops (in the above pics) I learnt that skaters love the location due to it's great wide open spaces, fantastic views, and most importantly for checking out all the hot women that walk through the park.
Hoops is a hardcore Vans fan and has countless pair's of Eras which through the increasing amount of work I am doing shooting skaters is proving to often be the shoe of choice for many of the skateboard community.
