This month, we're proud to feature Tyler Mansour (@arab_lincoln), a collector and visual storyteller whose work brings a rare sense of intentionality to the hobby.

Known for his high-touch, deeply considered photography, Tyler’s posts aren’t just images of sneakers—they’re moments. Carefully composed, visually striking, and rooted in meaning, each photo offers a quiet pause in a feed often dominated by hype. His approach reflects what we at Collectors MD believe in: slowing down, appreciating what you have, and collecting with purpose.

But Tyler’s work goes beyond his Instagram account. As recently profiled in GQ Middle East, he’s made a name for himself in the sneaker world—known for curating pieces with emotional weight, cultural history, and a story worth telling. That same thoughtful energy translates directly into the way he approaches collecting.

He’s not chasing the loudest releases. He’s not driven by resale value or trends. He’s building something slower, more deliberate—and honestly, more meaningful.

Below are a few of his recent posts from Instagram. Be sure to check out his page and give him a follow.

Thank you for the work you’re doing, Tyler. This is exactly the kind of energy the world of collecting needs.
