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

New Activity Feature! You ask and you shall receive! There have been several requests for a feature that would give you a snapshot of what you're friends have been up to while on SP and now its hear in the form of Activity - which you'll notice on your next login. The first thing you need to do to get started is 'edit subscriptions', you can then select a maximum of 25 friends, save the changes and your good to go.  From now on when you are in 'edit' mode in your profile you will see the latest updates from the friends that you are subscribed to. The 'view' mode will show visitors to your profile what you've been doing lately on SP i.e. starting discussions, commenting on profiles, blogs or battles, while the 'Friends' tab will show visitors to your profile updates from friends that you guys have in common. You can easily modify what actions you want to share with your friends by going into your 'preferences' via your 'account' settings.

Confessions of a Sneaker Addict Here's an old school article I've been searching for some time now It's the classic "Confessions of a Sneaker addict" by Bobbito Garcia. The feature was published in a 1991 issue of the Source and pretty much catapulted Bobbito onto Nike's radar. (thanks to Frank_Stoney for posting it in the forums.) This year has not only seen the 25 anniversary celebration of the AF1 but it's been a big year for Bobbito, as well, who is pretty much the official spokesman for the model and now has several AF1 designs under his belt. This guy is the best example of a prosumer - consumer turned producer (consultant). Getting paid to do what you love, it doesn't get much better than that. December 9, 2007

Feiyue is one our new indie favs. FEIYUE shoes was born in Shanghai in 1920. It has been a reference among all Chinese social categories from the countryman to the politician, from the captain of the national soccer Team to the famous Shaolin masters... via Feiyue December 6, 2007
