FASHION : Sole Digger: Footwear Photography

You may remember that last week we introduced you to trainer enthusiast, photographer and blogger, Sole Digger. Today sees the arrival of his first post exclusively for RWD, complete with stunning photographs of the best women’s and men’s trainers from his recent finds…Welcome To The World Of Sole Digger

It’s been a busy few weeks hitting the streets to find interesting ‘trainer stories’. I look for interesting people that wear and use trainers in an interesting way, and recently Sydney’s Hyde Park and its surrounding areas have been a happy hunting ground for the style and sneaker savvy.

Here are my favourite shots and stories from the last few weeks. Don’t forget to check out I Dig Your Sole Man each day for more great content.
adidas Ciero in Hyde Park, Sydney

First up is a skater called Hamish who I caught in action one weekend.  He is sponsored by adidas Skateboarding, and loves the fact that their trainers combine comfort with retro designs.  He will only wear one style though; the classic adidas Ciero, and with each pair only lasting him a few weeks it’s worth checking some of his local vintage stores as that’s where his near-new shoes go after only a couple of wears.
New Balance in Bondi Beach Market, Sydney

Atlanta is a jewellery designer whose taste in trainers is as eye-catching as the accessories that she makes. She loves trainers that stand out and make a statement, and after seeing these unique New Balance shoes her friends chipped in together to buy them for her as a birthday present.
Converse All Stars in Hyde Park, Sydney

This chilled Korean air stewardess is used to spending her working life in shoes, and loves to touch the ground so she can slip into the style and comfort of her beloved All Stars Converse trainers. They are the only style of trainer that she wears, no matter where she is in the world, due to their universal style and comfort.
