The Return One of the OGz in the online (street) culture space is back in a big way. Don't call it a come back ...they've been here before - we're looking forward to seeing the great content from the evil monkey pick up from where they left off. Check out EvilMonito.com which to me is the anti-thesis of hype blogs. Keep thinking! March 31, 2008
Visvim The footwear industry is dying for a change and with brands like Visvim leading the way - the future looks promising. Complex caught up with Visvim Creative Director Hiroki Nakamura for a q&a session for their upcoming green issue. Visit the Complex blog for the full story. March 27, 2008
Independent: 3:33 When it comes to our foot-game we like the big and the small in terms of brands. Sometimes you need a little change, a switch-up as we like to call it. Something new to spice up your daily rotation. There's been a real surge of quality coming out from independent brands - and we've definitely been taking notes. California based 3:33 is one of those brands that caught our eye and got our toes itching for a pair. They have some real mean, I mean clean shoes, quality looks, and a great attention to detail - judging by the fact that they're all handcrafted in Portugal. Our favorite from this season are the beat-up sneaker inspired Lo-Tops. The indie-footwear movement is only heating up - look to brands like 3:33 as proof that their time in the spotlight is not too far off. March 19, 2008
Sneaker Confidential Documentary Another day, another documentary. Our friends over at Mashkulture schooled us on this one: CBC recently aired a documentary entitled Sneaker Confidential. The film covers a range of sneaker-related topics from the running shoe’s humble beginnings, to the history of the Dassler brothers, and more. Naturally they touch on the culture aspect of sneakers by visiting Chris Vidal at Flight Club, checking out a Sneaker Pimps show, and cutting it up with MC Serch as he reminisces over the time he got jacked for his kicks. Check it out for yourself. March 6, 2008

C.Williams x Carter's Cuff Clips C.Williams, you might have seen his custom AF1's for The Story, recently teamed up with Carter Cuff Clips to make a pretty fresh custom sneaker with a built in clip system. The idea behind Carter C.C. is pretty simple, they make jewelry with a purpose - they stop your pants from dragging on the ground. Check for some more dope stuff from C.Williams. February 3, 2008
Giant! It's a wrap for the Pats...Sneakerplay reps the underdogs! January 7, 2008
Footwear Design ContestWant to be a footwear designer when you grow up? Want to get discovered? Then you better get your best work together and head on over to Nike's Future Soles design competition for a chance to showcase your talent. (The competition is only open to high school students between the ages of 14-19)The submissions will be judged by top Nike designers who will announce the two finalists on May 15th - they will then head to Beaverton for a design face off apprentice-style to present their final work. Speaking of Apprentice, this competition would probably make for good reality-TV, throw in some cameos from Carmelo and Jordan and its a wrap. December 29, 2007
Future Forward!The year that was '07 is quickly coming to a close; making way for a new year and new beginnings. We're not really big on 'year in review' type posts, so let's change the subject to whats to come in the future. The collaborative effort that is Sneakerplay is as strong as ever thanks to our active, vibrant, brilliant community (read You) and we're going to continue to maintain and nurture that positive environment. We're going to continue to push the boundaries with new features, contests and more of the 'never not working' attitude. Don't sleep, don't wait, get it straight in '08December 18, 2007
