Throughout the past year Sneakerpedia has been tweaked and changed in an effort to make the user experience more appealing. As part of our one year celebration we wanted to announce the newest addition to the wiki, the Crate of the Month. This new promotion will give #sneakerholics who contribute to the wiki and follow the theme of the month a chance to win some great prizes. To kick off the promotion starting today the winning crate will win a pair of Foamposite One “Galaxys”!
“Yo, VIP, let’s kick it!”
The 1990′s were a unique time for not only sneakers but in music as well. To commemorate some of the most popular musical acts that didn’t make it into the 2000′s Nike SB released a special Fallen Heroes pack in 2007. The sneakers in the pack consisted of a Dunk for Milli Vanilli, a Classic for M.C. Hammer and the Blazer High featured here for Vanilla Ice.

The last week was not only a big one for Sneakerpedia, thanks to Crate of the Month, but sneaker releases as well. Loads of sneakers were released with the Reebok Question being on of the most popular.

Check out this week’s showcase and let us know who’s sneaker shots are your favorite from the 6 jam-packed pages. Then be sure to show us your shots by tweeting us direct or using the @sneakerholics hashtag to have a chance to make it into the next Showcase.

This next guest blogger and recently appointed Crate of the Month judge John Kim needs little introduction. Sneakerholics are very familiar with his work the world over being Senior Editor of one of the most popular and informative sneaker blogs out there.

Starting off: A happy (yet belated) first birthday to Sneakerpedia, which launched on May 17th one year ago. I was graciously invited to attend the launch event in New York City last year and it’s encouraging to see the sneaker community build it up to what it is today! ‘Strength in numbers’ certainly applies here.

In the past couple of months Nike Golf has been buzzing thanks to two new releases, the spiked golf version of the Nike Dunk and a Nike Free prototype made specifically for Tiger Woods. However, some sneaker enthusiasts may remember one of Nike’s most unique “golf” shoes that released six years ago this month. Continue reading
