Sneakerhead Spotlight: Stephan aka @visualeyezsteph
Question 1: What’s in your current sneaker rotation?
Stephan: Currently my sneaker rotation has consisted of Mocha 1’s, Taupe Haze 4’s, Cream V2’s and Cream Clay Foam RNNR’s. Lots of browns to match the season!
Question 2: What’s the last pair you UNDS’d?
Stephan: Hmmm, I think it was the Cool Grey 11’s I got off the shock drop. I only tried them on and then size swapped.
Question 3: What’s your fave sneaker you currently own?
Stephan: My favorite sneaker has to be my Black Cement 3’s. They’re just a classic and the sneaker that made me a sneakerhead.
Question 4: What is your must have grail?
Stephan: Must have grail, to be honest, would be the OW Chicago 1’s.
Question 5: What got you started in the sneaker game?
Stephan: Basketball got me in the sneaker game. Back in the early 2010’s it was so popular to wear basketball shoes with fits because of the KD4, Kobe 8 or the Lebron 9. I always knew about sneakers because of MJ and the history of sneakers, but my generation is more so raised by those three athlete’s names I put down.
Question 6: What’s something that most people don’t know about you?
Stephan: Most people don’t know that I’m an immigrant from Mexico City.
Question 7: What do you do for a living?
Stephan: I am full time freelance photographer. I quit my day job at Amazon to fully pursue my dreams as an entrepreneur; I do help my girlfriend and her two sisters who own a sneaker consignment shop in South Jersey, Solely Fuego. (@Solely.Fuego on IG) But I also tie in my skill set into helping them create the photos that go on their Instagram page and run the social media.
Question 8: Where can people follow you on social media? YT, Snapchat, IG etc
Stephan:
my Instagram is: @visualeyez.steph
my Twitter is: @visualeyezsteph
These are the two accounts I use the most to share all of my work. Currently I’m in the process of expanding and learning to do video for Solely Fuego so hopefully that will render a new skill set to add to my photography.
