In early April, the Aglet app launched on iOS (Android is in the works) to the delight of many, including myself. Much in the same way that Pokémon GO gamified walking by letting you collect creatures, Aglet does the same thing for sneakerheads, as each step gains you points (or “aglet”) that you can spend on virtual sneakers. I can tell you personally that it’s been a great source of free entertainment for me over the past several weeks, and is also provides some great motivation to get outside and get moving during a time when we’ve all been stuck inside way too much lately.
