Capsul Bioscope: Bas Kar? Never—Aditya Bhalla on Sneaker Addiction
If you know sneakers, you’ve probably heard the name Aditya Bhalla. A true OG in India’s sneaker community, Aditya isn’t just collecting kicks—he’s living and breathing them. We had the chance to sit down with him for a Bioscope session and a photoshoot at Capsul, where he let us into his world of sneaker obsession, guilty pleasures, and the undeniable addiction to copping more pairs.
If Your Sneakers Could Talk…
The first question we had to ask Aditya was what his sneakers would say if they could talk. Without hesitation, he hit us with a classic: “Bas kar!” (Translation: Enough already!). If that’s not the ultimate sneakerhead mood, we don’t know what is.
The Justification Game
Every sneakerhead has their go-to excuse when adding another pair to an already overflowing collection. For Aditya, it’s all about the numbers. When asked about the most ridiculous justification he’s ever given for buying another pair, he casually responded: “I need it to make it a 100 AJ1s.” That’s right. Not because he needed it. Not because it was rare. But simply to hit that magic number. If that’s not dedication (or an unstoppable addiction), we don’t know what is.
The Ugly But Comfortable Guilty Pleasure
Now, no sneaker collection is complete without that pair—the one that isn’t the best-looking but feels like walking on clouds. For Aditya, that title goes to none other than Crocs. Love them or hate them, there’s no denying their comfort. And if a true sneakerhead like Aditya swears by them, maybe it’s time we all stop the slander.
More Than Just Sneakers
Aditya’s love for sneakers goes beyond just collecting. It’s about culture, community, and expression. Whether it’s copping the latest heat, styling his kicks with the perfect fit, or simply geeking out over sneaker history, he’s a walking encyclopedia of sneaker knowledge.
Stay tuned for more features on the sneakerheads shaping the scene in India. We’ve got more Bioscope sessions coming up, highlighting the people pushing sneaker culture forward—collectors, designers, and creatives who live and breathe the game. Keep an eye out, because the next feature might just be on someone you know.
And if you see Aditya out in the wild, just know—he’s probably calculating how many more AJ1s he needs to cross the next milestone.
