Kicks & Sports
It is safe to say that different people have passions for different things. Two of my passions are sports and sneakers. Since I have a passion for them I am constantly checking two websites which are the ESPN website for sports and for sneaker related things I go to Kicks on Fire. When I visit these websites I am drawn to visit them again for two reasons. One being that I want to look at the contents of the websites and two the design of the websites are pretty cool if you ask me. I visit these websites everyday. They keep me informed with the latest news in sports and sneakers. I am like an addict when it comes to these two things. Believe it or not these two websites correlate to each other in a specific way. Both use images of sport athletes. Kicks on fire uses images of athletes to show the sneakers that they are wearing while in a game while ESPN uses images of athletes to talk about what the athlete has done in game.
Kicks On FireSneakers are another obsession of mine. I have 43 pairs of sneakers. That might seem like a lot but in the sneaker world that is not. To keep myself updated with sneaker releases I always check Kicks on Fire. This website gives information about different brands of sneakers and the different types of sneakers in the brand. This website is designed to attract teenagers and anyone who is a sneaker enthusiast or as we would say a “Sneaker Head”. The design of the website is simple but yet stylish in a way. The website has many pictures with links about sneakers and about the sneakers famous people wear. The authors of the website are just trying to inform people of new sneaker trends and the releases of new sneakers. People who use the website regularly are those who very interested into sneakers. One cool thing about the website is that it has an icon that switches every second to different sneakers. I like this website because it opens my eyes to different sneaker styles. I think it’s why I have different styles of sneakers. The sneakers that I was mainly into were primarily Jordan’s. Visiting kicks on fire has opened my eyes to other sneakers as mentioned before. I am now into Asics, New Balance, Addias and Reebok. Every brand of sneaker has a distinct style that attracts people to start wearing them. Before I used to think that Asics and New Balance sneakers were lame and were for old people. But seeing them on kicks on fire and how they were worn made me have a different opinion about the sneakers. Another reason why I like visiting kicks on fire is because the authors of the website post pictures of the sneakers sports athletes wear which makes a connection to ESPN. This website is visited by thousands and thousands of people everyday. The hype for sneakers has grown very much over the past few years. Sneakers have become such an influence people start making lines for them up to forty-eight hours before the release of the sneaker. Sneakers are now receiving tremendous amount of attention. Particularly because there has been incidents were violence has taken place for spots in lines to get sneakers. Kicks on fire as said before post release dates for upcoming sneakers. This gives people time to save up for the sneakers that they want because sneakers can be a bit expensive at times. The website also provides articles on sneakers which gives sneaker enthusiasts a heads up on how sneakers will feel and will also inform if the sneaker was made in collaboration or by a single brand. |
ESPNI have been obsessed with sports since I can remember and to keep myself updated with the latest news in sports I always check the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network (ESPN) website. The purpose of the website is give anyone who visits the website any sport related news and standings among teams and players. Once a person visits the website he or she can get sports information for free because there is nothing for sale on the website. Anyone who visits the website will most likely be a fan of a sport ninety-nine percent of the time. So in a way the website builds a community around fans and issue that is occurring in the world of sports. If there is any controversy in the sports world you can find information on ESPN. Throughout the website you can see the ESPN logo with red background that turns into white towards the bottom of the page. Also through the website you can see images of some athletes. The authors of the ESPN website are very neutral because they only report what is going on in sports. Authors of the website don’t take sides when reporting on teams or players. They do sometimes make predictions on which team might win a game but that is based of statistics that they have in hand. ESPN is a Multilingual site because a user has the option of changing the language of the website by a click of the mouse. People can interact with the website in many ways. One of the ways people interact with the website is by starting fantasy leagues on the websites. In the website a person can start a fantasy league and manage their teams from the website. The website has other links to other sport related articles and it has links to sites where a person can buy sports apparel. I like these website because I will always be informed on what goes on in sports. ESPN overall is a website for any sports fan. They can find any statistics on any teams and player. They can also find about team information and schedule. The website is designed to be the heaven for sports fan. |
Both of these websites
I visit on a very constant basis. I like them not only for the content that
they contain but I also like them because of their design. Their designs are
simple but yet the websites seem so cool. One similarity that both websites
share is that they both show athletes. Some athletes have sneaker lines which
are really popular and they are displayed in both websites.
