Sole Shots: Friday, August 12, 2011

words // Brandon Richard

When taking photos of your sneakers, it’s always important to take notice of your surroundings. A great choice in scenery can make a good picture great and a great picture incredible. Several photographers in this week’s installment of Sole Shots did just that, taking advantages of scenic opportunities in locations like Paris, Oahu and even the Grand Canyon. Thedissident9 snaps a photo of his LeBron basketball shoes in front of the Eiffel Tower, while “LQ” Quelnan captures his “Flip” Air Jordan Retro 3 in another delivery from beautiful Hawaii. Rain water and puddles also make for great photos, and Germany’s Stephan Kuntze does some splashing in custom Nike Air Max 90s.

Check out some great kicks and jaw-dropping scenery in this week’s edition of Sole Shots.
