Cool Hunting
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. To gain cred in the community and to facilitate discussion about different pairs you can challenge another member's pair to battle with a pair of your own. The community then votes and comments over the next few days and the winner's overall ranking increases. At this moment FlipJays is in first place while our friend Hepdog is in 13th.
Sneakerplay has been in a closed beta for the last couple months, but they've just now opened it up for anyone to browse around. You can't make your own account without an invite, though. I've got 5 invites to give away. To get one, go to my gallery page, find the custom Vans and tell me who painted them.

Our friends at the sneaker-specific social networking site Sneakerplay recently launched The Photo Box, a widget that allows members to export pictures from their galleries and embed them into personal websites, blogs, profiles and the like. With a clever interface that looks like a shoe box, it allows individuals to take their collections with them wherever they roam online. As usual, you need to...
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...
Though personality tests generally remind us of the creepy eHarmony guy, are never really as accurate as they claim to be and results usually lack any creative presentation, when we saw the new site from Signal Patterns we were impressed. It's surprisingly accurate, fun to use and looks good too. The year-old company is made up of hardcore science wizards, and Signal Patterns built...
Our friends at thehappycorp want you to know just how good you look. To prove it, they created You Look Great Today, an assemblage of orchestrated thumbs-up photos that anyone can contribute to. To get involved, you first need to purchase their signature reversible hand-cards (one side is for pale skin, the other for darker skin). You can order a pack of 25 for...
Sneaker Freaker compiled a Best of Sneakers 2007 by asking fellow designers, artists, shop owners and founders for their favorites of the year. Both classics and newbies are represented but one thing remains clear, Nike still has a firm grasp on the sneaker game. Cool Hunting's version (had we done one) might look a bit different, but we're not quite addicts on the level...
Spring Court, the iconic French tennis shoes, have been available stateside through select stores and boutiques for some time now, but the recent launch of their U.S. website makes it easier to find retailers and to determine if it's worth the trip. For the SS08 collection, which debuted along with the site, Spring Court stays true to its history of simple but functional design,...
