Sneaker - Release for Running & Basketball Sneaker app review: for the shoe lover in all of us

Introduction

Sneakers aren’t just an article of clothing; they’re a part of pop culture history. No matter what decade you grew up in, chances are you recall the shoes that defined a generation. In the late '70s and early '80s, Converse sneakers were all the rage; as the '80s moved into the '90s, Air Jordan’s were the shoes that every kid had to have. Today these classics are enjoying a renaissance in popularity and of course there’s a whole range of modern hi-tech sneakers to choose from. With the Sneaker - Release for Running & Basketball Sneaker app you can order your favorite pair of sneakers at a great price from the comfort of your own. This is a free app and it’s compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Online Sneaker Shopping

The first thing that probably comes to mind when you think about an app that’s dedicated to the sale of sneakers is, does one article of clothing really warrant its own app? You can certainly order sneakers from other online stores but I’ve never seen such a wide variety of choice in one place. This app includes all the most popular brands with all of their popular product lines. If you’re in the market for a new pair of sneakers it’s unlikely you’ll find a better selection anywhere else.

The biggest problem you’ll run into with this app is the lack of different sizes. If your shoe size is anything larger than a men’s size 12 you won’t be able to order it through this app and in many cases they don’t even have anything larger than a size 10! This is a pretty serious flaw in an app that’s advertised as the go-to app for sneakers. It’s also missing many popular brands such as Converse, New Balance, and Reeboks to name a few, so this app is not the one-stop shopping experience for sneaker lovers that it could be. This app will require 16 MB of available space on your iOS device.

How it Works

This app has the same look and feel as most shopping apps you’ll find in the App Store. When you open the app the first thing you’ll see is the app's main recommended deals. Each shoe is offered at a significant discount from prices you might find elsewhere, but these featured offers are time-sensitive. Each ad includes a picture of the shoe, the time left to take advantage of the deal, and the sticker price compared to the discounted price. If you find a shoe you like all you have to do is tap on the picture, select your size, and add it to the cart. If you want to find another pair of shoes you can follow the same process to add more items to the cart and once you’re done you just tap on the cart icon in the bottom right corner and add your payment details.

If you don’t find what you’re looking for in the recommend deals sections you can use the categories tab on the bottom menu to search through the available shoes from: Nike, Puma, Asics, Jordan, and Adidas. There’s a pretty good selection for each brand, but as mentioned above there isn’t always a great selection of sizes so you may not find what you’re looking for. There’s also a section for cashing in coupons for further savings.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Final Words

If you’re in the market for a new pair of sneakers but don’t want to have to pay standard retail prices for your favorite shoes you may want to check out the Sneaker - Release for Running & Basketball Sneaker app. This app includes excellent deals on several major brands with many of their most popular product lines. It doesn’t include all the major brands though so if your brand's not included you’ll have to look elsewhere.
