This is actually a really good idea. I know that there have been attempts at a project like this in the past -there is already the Kicktionary iPhone app but since I don't have an iPhone, I haven't gotten a chance to try it out yet (plus I don't know if it's free). The app screenshots look really good, but the fact that Sneakerpedia is free and is sponsored by Foot Locker means that it has the possibility of getting the critical mass of members and pubilicity necessary to actually build a serious, comprehensive sneaker archive. Though I could say that I wish I thought of it first, just considering how daunting this task would be to tackle alone, I think it's best that it's launching this way. I'm really looking forward to the launch to see what I can add! Wishing these guys the best (and hoping to get on the Beta!)
Though some may say Sneaker Culture is dead, I think projects like this are signs that the true heads are still alive and well, appreciating and spreading love and sole like we've always been.
