Who knew that footwear could spawn such an avid following? The Toronto based Sneakerplay has developed a social networking site on that very premise, namely, as the moniker suggests, sneakers. It´s invites only; however should you be so lucky as to be on the receiving end of such an invite, you´ll get access to a profile where you can post your pics, your reads, and your music; there are galleries, messaging, and of course friends.
There´s also a gallery for all your foot gear; you can even ‘Battle´ it out, and vote for the best looking and coolest sneakers. You´ll also find a forum, blog entries, tagging, and a sneaker feed reader. The site seems to be pretty popular as there´s already quite a long waiting list; SneakerPlay has definitely tapped into a hitherto undeveloped culture of shoes; it´s big with the urban youth scene and it´s got an outré sort of coolness going for it.

Why SneakerPlay.com It Might Be A Killer
The site targets a very keen and up to date youth audience that´s into consumer goods, and footwear. It´s just not another social network; rather it´s got a very specific appeal.
