##Rules##

Buying/selling/trading (or even asking about it/trades) is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. There are other subreddits for that. Your comment/post will be removed, and you will be banned.
NO FAKES. No asking about fakes, no posting fakes. Any comment or post that features or advocates for fake/replica shoes of any kind will be removed and the poster will be banned.
No posts about bots, backdoor links, pre-order/add to cart services, etc. You will be banned without warning. What is and isn’t considered a backdoor link is at the discretion of the mods.
Follow Reddiquette and other sitewide rules. No referral links of any kind.
Keep discussion related to sneakers. Racist/sexist/bigoted comments will be removed and the poster banned at the mod's discretion.
Memes and low-effort posts will be removed at the mods’ discretion. We do not allow LC's or "What shoes should I get" posts. General sneaker recommendation posts such as comfortable standing shoes/general questions are still allowed. If a picture doesn't feature sneakers as the main focal point, it may be removed. We don't allow Slides, Flip-flops, Crocs, or non sneakers in the sub. Screenshots of pickups (Or L's) outside of new release threads will result in a ban.
Imgur is the preferred site to host images. Reddituploads often gives a 404 error after posting.
Don't pretend to be someone else. Give credit if it's not your picture.
No advertising of any kind. No YouTube/Twitter/blog spam. Refer to this page for further info regarding this rule. Consult with the mods about promotional offers.
No posting personal information of any kind. This includes linking to social media accounts that aren't yours.
Posts detailing customer service issues where the online company has defrauded you are allowed. The person making the post must provide adequate proof of the story they post (ie multiple pictures of shoes purchased, screenshots of conversations you have had with reps from the company etc). In cases that seem suspect or proof is not provided we will lock commenting on the post and sticky our reasoning. The thread can be unlocked by adding more proof.
