Sneakers


Sneakers from Heikki SlÄen on Vimeo.

Topi Tateishi is a half finnish, half japanese urban dancer and owner of a small sneaker store in Helsinki. He got into sneaker culture through urban dance as he started as a young b-boy 18 years ago and he has been dancing ever since. Sneakers mean the world to him and sometimes they can even replace the significant other. By the end of the movie a whole world of sneaker and urban dance culture has been revealed through a pair of Topi’s shoes.

Oh how I do love sneakers. I have no idea why, and I’m no where near this level of “sneaker freak” but I do like wearing and collecting sneakers.
