Subscribing to Sonic Frontiers’ newsletter will net you the hedgehog’s iconic Soap Shoes in-game

As we inch closer and closer to the release of Sonic Frontiers, SEGA has upped its marketing for the game. One interesting method that the publisher has taken is to offer a free in-game item to those who subscribe to SEGA’s email newsletter. Curiously, the item in question is none other than the Blue Blur’s iconic Soap Shoes.

Making the announcement on the Sonic Frontiers website, SEGA said “Sign up January 31, 2023 and take it back to the early 2000s to rail grind in style with your own pair of iconic shoes from Sonic Adventure 2, exclusively available to our newsletter subscribers!”

They continued, “Simply enter your details and we'll email a code straight to your inbox after Sonic Frontiers has been released on November 8, 2022. We’ll send more details about how to redeem your code to download the in-game content at a later date.”

As mentioned, the Soap Shoes are an iconic part of Sonic’s early 3D history. Based on a real shoe, the soap shoes are purpose built for rail-grinding – something which has now become a staple in 3D Sonic games.

That being said, Sonic’s soap shoes have made very few appearances since its initial unveiling, and so for it to be in Sonic Frontiers is exciting – especially for old-school fans of the hedgehog. Hopefully there is another way to unlock the shoes in-game.
