Sneaker Crush — Sneaker Drop Marketplace

We are engaged in enhancing an existing marketplace tailored for sneaker enthusiasts, accessible via web, iOS, and Android platforms. The client sought to revitalize the apps with a social dimension, enhancing user interaction and engagement.

Our initial focus was on addressing high-priority tasks, which included a comprehensive redesign and improving the data loading features. We introduced new functionalities such as posting capabilities, advanced filters, a robust search feature, tagging options, and a moderation system for comments on the admin side.

The marketplace provides users with immediate access to the latest sneaker drops, along with personalized reminders for the most anticipated releases. It features a vast catalog of highly sought-after sneakers, offering direct links for purchase from official retailers. The catalog, extensive in scope, is organized by brand, year, and popularity.

A notable addition is the ‘Drop Feed’ feature, currently exclusive to iOS, which aggregates and parses posts and news about sneaker and clothing releases. This content is then directly delivered to users’ devices. Furthermore, we enhanced the platform’s social aspect by incorporating an in-app community where users can showcase and share their sneaker collections within the Feed.

This project also provided us with valuable experience in utilizing the Amazon Product API and in developing a backend system to monitor and interact with the Amazon platform.
