Issue #58 features a hilarious & heartbreaking video of a young boy finding out he is, in fact, NOT a “Single Lady,” why Star Wars will never (and should never) go away, and our sincerest (read: mostly sarcastic) farewells to Saneel Radia.

Fellow sneaker heads, we are not a secret society.
There is a group of us out there that agree there are few feelings better than scooping an exclusive pair of your favorite sneakers (whether that’s Air Max 95s, Jordan Vs, or Dunks in my case). There are numerous sneaker shops throughout the country (and abroad – don’t sleep) that are always good for that unexpected gem that completes your collection (until you come back next time) and leaves you on cloud nine with a reward for your sneaker sleuth skills.
Unfortunately, technology and innovation are ruining that euphoric feeling for me. Whether it’s the traditional email/newsletter or the constantly growing social media landscape, shoe companies are making it tougher to get my hands on their exclusive goodies. A culture once dominated by word of mouth is now fully embracing the tools of the digital word of mouth landscape. Woot for them. FML for me.
This officially marks Saneel‘s last week at Denuo. Conveniently, volcanic ash seemed to keep him far away from us (i.e. Vienna) until hours before our rousing farewell party at Vertigo at the Dana Hotel in Chicago. Coincidence? We think not. But we do know that he will miss us…and the feeling is mutual.
Saneel has long been a driving force inside of Denuo. He helped put Play on the map; gave Denuo a voice in the social space via Denuology; and turned Denuo’s team of hybrid talent mongrels into Alchemists. He even tried to make Transformers and Snuggies cool.
So, before he takes off for the Big Apple and settles into his new role at BBH Labs as Director of Media Innovation, we wanted to share our gratitude and support via Saneel’s favorite method of communication: witty tweets.
Below are some short, heartfelt farewells to our creative leader. We wish you well in the land of even more pretentious creative hang-outs, foodie-worthy restaurants and places to buy matching shoes and watches.
XOXO,
Us
There are a lot of changes happening around Denuo these days. This is the latest:
This year in two parts: the first part a series of lists that I would have tried to illustrate if I had any sort of design skills whatsoever, the second part a succinct, totally unfair snap judgement on every act I saw. Feel free to disagree and yell at me in the comments.
