Nike AirMAX

With our Memorial Day BBQ in full swing @richardcelis asked if I could take a photo of his new shoes. I took this as an opportunity to do my daily as well.

 

Being that these shoes are called "air"max of course I couldn't resist stringing them up with some dental floss to make them float.

 

I proceeded to blow out the background wall with a 550EX and used a 580EX II to bring up the shoe. I lit the heal of the shoe with a 430EX but only in post did I notice I totally blew out the back of the sole. D'oh!

 

I think he said he wanted to use this for his #fb page or something like that.
