Making these work in sneakers
- Lead with on-foot. Collectors have seen every product shot already — the first frame that stops a sneakerhead's scroll is the shoe on a foot, moving, in daylight.
- Release weeks set your calendar. Post cop-or-drop takes before the drop and on-foot verdicts right after, because search interest around a release name fades fast.
- Real prices and honest Ls build trust faster than flexing. Saying what you paid and which hyped pair disappointed you separates you from a hundred flex accounts.
- Unboxings die when the reveal takes too long. Run the video through ReelTok before posting — the virality score will tell you if your first three seconds drag.
