This week, we’re excited to highlight Greg, known to The Kingsland Shoe Project family as @air.macs. Based in Scotland, Greg is a creator whose page feels like a true reflection of sneaker culture at ground level. On feet, lived in, and personal. With a wide ranging collection, his content celebrates sneakers as they’re meant to be worn and experienced.

What sets Greg apart is the authenticity behind his lens. His on feet shots are effortless and honest, often woven into moments with friends, his dogs, and everyday life. There’s a genuine love for Nike SBs, photography, and community that runs through his feed, making each post feel more like a snapshot of real sneaker life than a staged shoot.

We’re proud to feature Greg as part of The Kingsland Shoe Project Family and look forward to watching him continue to document sneaker culture through his collection, his relationships, and his unmistakably personal point of view.

His content blends footwear with lifestyle, capturing sneakers not just as products, but as part of everyday moments, movement, and self-expression.

What makes Steven’s page stand out is his ability to tell stories through his lens. From carefully composed on-feet shots and moody visuals to lifestyle-driven sneaker photography, each post feels intentional, authentic, and creatively grounded. His feed doesn’t just show sneakers, it highlights the feeling, mindset, and culture behind them.

2025 was a wild year for footwear. 3D-printed Air Max experiments, tweed golf shoes for The Open, BMX storytelling Jordans, loafers with performance sockliners…and a lot of debate in our group chats about what actually deserves a spot in our rotations.

This list isn’t meant to be the definitive ranking for everyone. It’s a love letter to the 25 pairs we kept coming back to at The Kingsland Shoe Project this year – the ones with real craft, personality, and staying power. The stuff you want to protect, break in slowly, and keep looking fresh for years.

You’ll see everything from dress oxfords and heritage boots to techy runners and collabs that broke the internet. Different vibes, same core standards: materials, build, comfort, story, and that magic “I need these” feeling.

25 Pairs We Loved in 2025

The Kingsland Shoe Project community, get ready to be inspired! This week, we're thrilled to introduce the incredible Jimmy Guidos, the heart and soul behind @JaysFireFridays. Jimmy's journey beautifully intertwines his passion for sneakers with his dedication to making a real difference in the lives of students. What started as a simple way to recognize and encourage students has grown into a movement spanning 23 school sites, fostering confidence, positive connections, and personal growth—one sneaker at a time.

Right now, Jimmy is leading a special initiative: the Fire Fridays Kids’ Sneaker Drive, in partnership with Western Youth Services and Shoes That Fit. The goal? Provide new and gently worn sneakers to students in need, ensuring that every child has access to footwear that makes them feel confident and ready to take on the world. Donations are being collected through April, and every pair makes a difference! Learn more on how to support: bit.ly/firefridays2025
