Discord and Collegium Partner Up for the Pillar Alpha Annex

Sneaker culture owes everything to the creation of message boards. NikeTalk and various other message boards cultivated the idea of community, allowing sneakerheads all across the globe to share and discuss their favorite sneakers. The idea still lives on with Discord, the voice, video, and text communication service that allows like-minded people to foster their own communities. Discord is once again partnering with burgeoning sneaker brand Collegium for their second-ever sneaker following their initial partnership last year, which focused on highlighting Discord and Collegium’s missions to provide community and inclusivity.

 

The Pillar Alpha Annex draws inspiration from Collegium’s own Discord channel and the wider community of sneakerheads that have made Discord home. The sneaker is handcrafted in Italy with a timeless design. The sneaker comes with a premium white leather upper and a blend of suede and nubuck on the overlays. The overlays come in three shades of “Blurple,” the signature shade of Discord’s beloved mascot Wumpus which also appears on the co-branded insoles. Other details include Black leather accents appear on the side panels and tongue tag, and embossed logos on the lateral, while a vintage-treated Italian rubber outsole completes the look. A limited number of the ​​Pillar Alpha Annex will drop for free on Collegium’s Discord server on Saturday, March 11.  Fans can enter by joining the Collegium server and reacting to a post that day.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
