Took pics of my friend's Nike SB shoe collection. A pretty penny if you ask me.

I really like the photos. There are some angles I'm not too happy with, such as the ones that show the inside tags, but overall they feel like they could be in a catalog or something of the sort.

Is the reflection PP? I'm assuming it is but I could be wrong. However it is well done and the lighting with them as a spotlight is pretty nice.

As a side note, I really find most of those shoes quite hideous. Seriously, I used to play basketball and remember some of these, though i liked Penny's and Pippen's best. These, however, simply appear like a re-hash of late 80's with some garish colors.

Thanks for the comment. I see what you're saying with the inner tag I'll keep note not to do that

The reflection was done with saran wrap haha

Yeah some of those shoes are ugly... But they're more for collection items and all have their own name. For example...

number 4 is called "old spice" because it represents old spice's colors
number 5 I forgot what the exact name is but its about weed I think its called purple haze not sure
number 8 are the "pee wee hermans"

I dont know the rest of the names haha but the last pair but itself costs around $300-500. Rare stuff.

Ok.... someones got a serious shoes fetish!:lmao: Great idea on the saran wrap for the reflection haha, creative. Did you use anything *under* it? What lighting did you use?

Yeah he does! I dont get it to be honest... haha
Under the saran wrap was just black paper I just photo shopped it to make it look darker. Under the paper is the table

I used 1 white satin umbrella with a vivitar 285 HV at I believe 1/4th power.


And yes... He is an octopus

Sneakerhead. [:

I agree, some angles don't work very well but #5 is my favorite.
