About Sole Showdown

Sole Showdown is a browser-based casual sneaker game operated by Michael Schubert under the trading name Golden Hour Labs. Built around randomized head-to-head Arena matchups, the game combines Elo-based competitive rankings, earned Coins, randomized Booster Packs, and a persistent digital card collection.

Players make gameplay choices between two sneakers in randomized Arena matchups. Each valid gameplay choice contributes to the Elo ranking system and rewards earned Coins that can be used to unlock Booster Packs and build a persistent digital card collection.

Coins / Booster Packs

Coins are free in-game points earned only through gameplay in the Arena. Coins and cards are non-transferable, non-redeemable, and have no cash or resale value. Booster Packs contain six randomized digital collectible cards and open only with earned Coins. Coins are not cryptocurrency. Coins and packs are not sold. There is no cash-out, wagering, or trading.

Premium

Premium is planned and unavailable for purchase. No payment provider or Merchant of Record is currently active. Every valid gameplay choice has equal Elo weight; Premium does not buy ranking placement or increased vote weight.

Sole Showdown is independent of sneaker brands and retailers. Brand names identify the sneakers featured in matchups and do not imply endorsement or partnership.
