THE ARENA

›The Weekly Sneaker Arena is a community competition. Each ISO week (Monday 00:00 UTC → Sunday 23:59 UTC) runs an independent round.

›One champion is crowned per week. There are no divisions, weight classes, or brand-specific categories.

›Community members vote COP or DROP on entries. COP votes add heat points; DROP votes reduce them (floor at zero).

›At the end of the week, the entry with the most heat wins.

›Anyone with a valid ShoeTracker.AI sneaker session can enter.

›One sneaker session may enter the arena once per week. Re-entries are blocked.

›A single device (IP) may submit up to 10 different entries per week to prevent spam.

›You confirm at submission that the entry is yours and does not infringe third-party rights.

›Voting is open to anyone who can reach the entry's public page. No account required.

›Each visitor gets one vote per entry per week (enforced via IP-based deduplication).

›Vote manipulation, bot usage, coordinated brigading, or any attempt to artificially inflate heat will result in entry removal at our discretion.

›ShoeTracker.AI may remove entries that violate community standards or applicable law.

›The weekly champion receives a custom video reel produced by the ShoeTracker.AI design team.

›The reel is a community-recognition asset — it has no cash value and is not exchangeable for currency.

›There are no cash prizes, no merchandise prizes, and no purchase necessary at any point.

›The arena is not a sweepstakes, lottery, or raffle — winners are selected by community vote on objective heat scores.

›Delivery of the custom reel is at our discretion within a reasonable timeframe; technical or content-related issues may delay or substitute the deliverable.

›ShoeTracker.AI is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or licensed by Nike, Inc., adidas AG, New Balance Athletics, Inc., Puma SE, ASICS Corporation, or any other footwear manufacturer or brand owner.

›All sneaker names, model descriptions, and colorways shown in entries are user-submitted descriptive content provided by participants for the purpose of identifying their own footwear.

›Trademarks, service marks, trade names, and brand identifiers are the property of their respective owners and are referenced solely for descriptive purposes.

›If you are a brand owner and believe an entry infringes your rights, contact info@shoetracker.ai and we will review promptly.

›You retain ownership of all media and descriptions you submit.

›By entering, you grant ShoeTracker.AI a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to display, reproduce, distribute, and create derivative works of your entry on the platform — including the leaderboard, share posters, social channels, and promotional materials related to the arena.

›This license persists for the duration of the arena round and reasonable historical retention afterward.

›You may request removal of your entry by contacting info@shoetracker.ai; we will honor the request within a reasonable timeframe, though existing share posters already exported may persist.

›IP addresses are hashed (SHA-256) for deduplication purposes only and are not stored in raw form.

›Entry metadata (creator name, shoe description, timestamps) is retained for up to 30 days after the round ends, then automatically purged.

›Voter dedup keys expire 7 days after voting. Personal identifying information is never associated with vote records.

›See our Privacy Policy for additional details on data handling.

›Entries containing hate speech, harassment, sexually explicit material, violence, or other content prohibited by applicable law will be removed without notice.

›Counterfeit footwear, fake brand claims, or fraudulent provenance descriptions are not permitted.

›You must be at least 13 years old (or the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction) to participate.

›Employees of ShoeTracker.AI and their immediate families may submit entries for testing but are ineligible to win the design-team reel.
