RYZ is an on-line sneaker community like no other. No camping out, waiting on-line, no “sorry, it doesn’t come in your size”, no working your connects to get in on exclusive drops, no it’s all about who you know, no B.S. Just sneakers…designed by you. The community votes on their fav’s and those are the ones that get produced. It’s totally a popularity contest but truely a win-win. Shoes produced are the ones the people want, winners get paid $500 and $1 per shoe sold there after…and the best thing? Anyone can design a sneaker! Shoes are made vailable word-wide and in sizes mens 5-12. Currently the silhouette of the shoe is the same for all, the RYZ hi-top and has these features:

• Plush upper combines high quality pigskin detailing with printed 100% cotton, 8-ounce canvas
• Silver X™ silver thread anti-microbial lining
• Otholite™ slow recovery light-weight foam insole
• Crystal Rubber™ outsole shows off bottom graphic
• Ships in collectable twill bag and box

Jennifer Wannarachue aka Saint Agnes of NYC’s Worship Worthy is not only part of the creative panel of RYZ but the designer behind the WW shoe, “Winner”…that’s certainly a guaranteed win! Get your WW “Winner” kicks here or better yet try your hand at sneaker design and let the people decide!

Girls, girls, girls! Now you have your own little home on the Sneaker Freaker prairie… the SNKR Freakette zone in the Forum is a haven for news on sneakers, events, opinions and more! Post photos of your collection, check out new releases for women, have your questions answered and read up on the latest apparel news. You might even win yo-self some special shizz that SF organised just for the ladies….

Keep Company has updated their online store to include their first hi-top, the Guerra, in an array of stripes and patterns perfect for hot summer days. Here’s how the ladies describe the Guerra model: “Inspired by an outing with writer, world traveler and raconteur Gigi Guerra, we made a shoe as sleek and slick as the lady herself. Hit the streets and stop complaining about ankle support.” Haha. I definitely love me some hi-tops and the Keep selection has a “so fresh and so clean” look to them that translate so well for the long days of summer. Check out the other colors and styles here.

Our favorite sneaker freaks from down unda have devoted their site to the ladies this week on Sneaker Freaker. There are a host of new sneakers reviewed that will be dropping in the coming months plus interviews with Erin Magee from Made Me, Yasi from Cultist, Jee-Nice from Anattitude and Valdmir from Kendo LA along with a host of newsflashes from Hayley Mei, Dame Deco, Hellz Bellz, Roxy Cottontail, George Terrific and much much more. Someone’s listening to the ladies! And, while your on Sneaker Freaker don’t forget to check out the Sneaker Freakette forum.

Sneaker Freaker magazine just launched a new forum just for the ladies called Sneaker Freakette. This is a great place to meet other ladies who take their kicks seriously and want to be in the know. Maybe you just want to post your collection and see other ladies’ collections. Or, maybe you just want to know what other ladies’ think about upcoming releases. Whatever the topic, Sneaker Freakette is a great place to get a dialog going about shoes, shoes, shoes!

Just got word that Kendo is hosting a sale this weekend in the area behind their store. I’ve been to one of these sales before and they are crazy! You will definitely find some good deals. Happy Shopping!
