Sneakerplay is the beautiful sister, brother and mum of myspace. Built and designed strictly for sneakerheads it is one of the best places to connect, talk about sneakers or show your collections. They have innovative features like a battle system for sneakers and are one of our favorite sites out there.
Some words from the Sneakerplay crew:
Sneakerplay is the culture’s first social network. It is a next-generation social software designed specifically for style conscious and creative individuals—a place where sneaker enthusiasts can connect with friends, meet like minded individuals and express their unique styles.
Members are able to create profiles, showcase their latest kicks in the gallery, read their favorite blogs with SP’s Aggregator and there is also a pretty cool battle feature for the competitive types. As you know the battle is a universal feature within our culture whether it’s in the domains of art (graffiti), music (bboy’ing) or sports. Sneakerplay’s innovative battle system allows you to view, comment and rate ongoing battles.
The site is elegant in its simplicity and design; reminiscent of a fresh clean pair of white kicks! Look out for dope new features and remember Sneakerplay – All Day!!
