SOLE COLLECTOR

• Sole Collector started as a print publication - but hard copies are no longer available

• Their contributors present everything (fashion, shoes, pop culture facts) in a way that feels like news.

• They keep their audience informed about everything:

• Innovative business practices

• Release dates

• Anything you need to know about sneakers

• Sole Search also functions as a sneaker database with info on lines, models, company bios, and links for all of the major sneaker brands.

HIGHSNOBIETY

• Highsnobiety does way more than sneakers - - but they do sneaker so well.

• They cater to“sneakerhead” culture with talk of fashion,footwear, lifestyle, & art.

• Was never a magazine - the blog was created by David Fischer (CEO and Publisher)

• Headquartered in both NYC and Berlin (true international perspective)

• They never stop posting so check for real time updates on releases and news.

SNEAKERNEWS

• The name is self explanatory - SneakerNews does nothing but sneakers

• SneakerNews is one of the last to still put out a hard copy publication

• It’s the brainchild of the genius Yu Ming Wu, who turned his passion for sneakers into the Sneaker News project back in 2007.

• Hypebeast says it best, “As the most-read sneaker source on the ‘net, Sneaker News has become a pioneering voice in establishing what’s hot and what’s not.”

HYPEBEAST

• Hypebeast is the grandparent of all sneaker blogs.

• They have always been the go-to source for what’s the hottest new footwear.

• It’s made itself a hub of cultural activity: combining sneaker news with art and tech updates

• They are the authority on what’s going to make waves

• The best part? Their forums.

• The forums are an amazing space for like-minded people to connect
