Cool Hunting
I've only been collecting sneakers for a few years, but have already amassed many a proud pair. I wanted to show them off and asked my friends over at Youth of Tomorrow to lend a hand. They came up with the brilliant concept of a memory game. We even went so far as to produce both printed and on-line versions. The decks should be in soon, but the site is up now.
Pair-o-deez is a sneaker memory game featuring 28 of my favorite pairs. Once you make a match you'll get detailed words and pictures. The first 50 people to finish the game will win a free deck. To claim your prize, take a grab of the screen that says you won and email it to pairodeez [at] coolhunting [dot] com along with your name and shipping address. UPDATE: The first 50 winners are in, but don't let that discourage you-- it's fun!

It's fair to say that we at Team Cool Hunting havn't gone for the whole Nike Air Force 1 anniversary in a huge way, but this collaboration between Nike iD and our favorite social networking site for sneakerheads could change all that. Starting 6 March 2007, Sneakerplay members will be able to design their own AF1's on Nike iD and then have their handiwork...
If you're at all in to sneakers you've probably already heard about Sneakerplay, the footwear themed social software site. In addition to the standard profile, friend, gallery and messaging features the site includes a battle feature.
