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!

that is interesting> Is it about sneakers only?
Dejan Pralica
@smikeyev Yes and an extension as well into the culture as a whole. Style, sports and music are intertwined with sneakers and we do cover anything we feel relevant in that regard.
Dejan Pralica
@smikeyev of course!

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

I LOVE everything about this newsletter. It’s covers all of the current news in the sneaker world and it also give insight about the current value of recently dropped shoes. If you haven’t gotten a chance to subscribe, reply below with your email and I can assist you 😊. Also, if you haven’t joined Sole Savy, you are missing out! It’s not only a community, it’s a family! ❤️❤️
Dejan Pralica
@marquitta_gleaton as always, you're the best!

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!

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.

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.

Dejan Pralica

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!
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.

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!
Al A
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!

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!
