My favorite part of the newsletter is the "Best Sneakers to Buy for Retail or Less" section - as someone who likes cool sneakers but isn't a hardcore sneakerhead, it helps guide me in the right direction of what is cool, but also accessible. thanks to Unboxed I was able to cop my Space Hippies on launch day, no problem

@taylrn Thats the goal, the best shoes don't always cost 2x retail!

Hey hey Product Hunt! I’m DP, founder of SoleSavy...we created Unboxed to give the modern sneakerhead an email they can look forward to opening every week in their inbox. So much of sneaker media falls into the lazy cycle of basic news that doesn’t keep the true end consumer in mind. Unboxed is written by a duo of industry veterans who live and breathe sneaker culture. We found ourselves frustrated with the lack of coverage for the topics we truly cared about. Each issue is sent out Monday at 9AM PST with an original illustration and everything you would need to know to keep up with a thriving industry. Check out our last issue here: https://solesavy.activehosted.co... and let me know if you have any questions or feedback!

This is pretty cool - do you guys do any referral rewards like other newsletters like Morning Brew?
Dejan Pralica
@turnernovak Yes we do, We just did a big launch referral and now are moving to smaller more attainable referral rewards for more users. We're not on the sweatpants level yet.

Sole Savy is amazing to begin with but then our founders and admins took it to another level with Unboxed! The education and information to upcoming sneaker releases provides great insigjt as to how the sneaker world is evolving. I look forward to each upcoming newsletter!
Dejan Pralica
@theogbradleyd Appreciate it, man!

What I love most about the newsletter is how carefully put together the content is. Usually with other products out there, you would likely find relevant content from different sources. Unboxed by SoleSavy is concise, complete and curated for your typical sneakerhead
Dejan Pralica
@aipallasi You got that down exactly, thanks man!

Enjoy the detail and passion that goes into this news letter. In a hype beast, 10 character culture it is refreshing to see people put effort and time into making something of high quality and this is what unboxed is. Have shared with many of my sneaker head friends and the community and everyone loves it. Keep it up!
Dejan Pralica
@captainplants YES! "10 character culture it is refreshing to see people put effort and time into making something of high quality" love it!

I like how the writer has actual experience with sneakers and is commenting about issues that are embarked upon by people who like sneakers. For instance, I believe there was an article about sneaker reselling and custom sneakers that really sparked my interest.
Dejan Pralica
@zokaseio thats exactly where the idea came from, we would talk internally about what was going on in sneakers and found no one was really discussing it. Glad you're enjoying it!

I've known Dejan, the creator of solesavy, for years and he does amazing work even before the inception of solesavy. Unboxed is definitely no different: great content, visually appealing, and no useless 'filler' content. The team working on the newsletter are really well-spoken, and the articles offer different perspectives on all things sneaker and fashion related. Nice fresh takes, not just another newsletter copying content from other sources. Keep up the great work guys!
Dejan Pralica
@ambk Appreciate the all around kind words Amit!
Nate Blevins
As an avid sneakerhead, @SoleSavy putting out Unboxed is monumental! This is what true sneakerheads need! Everyone needs to know we are driven by the love of sneakers, and not by hype and resell. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
Dejan Pralica
@nate_blevins Thats the goal, push sneaker culture forward one product at a time and Unboxed is one way to do that for us.

Whether you’re a newbie to the sneaker world or a diehard sneakerhead, this newsletter positions its content at the relevant points in the culture to help you understand where the industry is going, what’s hot right now, and what’s being slept on.
Dejan Pralica
@deronnie_pitts Well put, appreciate the kind words!
Stacey Adams
Amazing newsletter! One of my favorite parts is “best sneakers to buy for retail or less” because this knowledge is very important to someone who is just getting into sneakers. No need to go expensive when you can get HEAT for cheap!
Dejan Pralica
@stace_monger Exactly, too much of the focus these days is on resell prices and spending absurd amounts on sneakers.
Aaron Roth
I’ve been getting these emails since day one, heard about it through a sneaker group I’m in and I love it. It’s a nice read to start off the week and has a good combination of fun and informative info.
Dejan Pralica
@aaron_roth Thanks Aaron, thats the goal, educate but have some fun at the same time.

With a full time job and a full time parent when I get home, reading Unboxed gets me up to date with all the info I need to help me reach my Sneaker glory. I read it to keep up with whats new , whats hot, what will drop and just keeping up with the culture. Thank you Unboxed
Dejan Pralica
@al_a Glad you're enjoying it so far, especially with a busy schedule!
Daniel Choi
Unboxed keeps me up to date on all the latest sneaker trends/releases and is really just another great product that the SoleSavy family provides. I was skeptical about joining but very happy I did. If you want your best chance at copping sneakers and just want to be part of a genuine family of sneaker fanatics this is the place to be!
Dejan Pralica
@dchoi Thank you Daniel!
Sam Chan
DP, Justin, and their team are leaders in an industry that's full of noise and anybody with an instagram can call themselves a 'tastemaker'. Unboxed is more than just sneakers - its commentary on culture
Ying Su
It's amazing. Very informative and gives me insight and tips on how to score on sneaker releases that I desire.

I usually hate newsletters but this one is one that doesn't get instantly archived/trashed. It has nice graphics, clean formatting, and is easy to read!
hellafrankie
I love UNBOXED! A weekly newsletter that has the MOST information you can have for a quick read. Covers all the hottest current and upcoming trends. There's also great background information on sneakers that people don't even think twice about. It's definitely a must for people who love all sneakers, fashion, etc.
Shyboogie
This is truly an informative newsletter, especially if you're into sneakers. Favorite part of unbox are all the updates on the latest drops but also the content behind it. The stories that include the charity work raised from the drops and so on. I like that they incorporate these important topics so it doesn't just make them about sneakers but also the people and stories behind it.
