I know I posted about this in teh chat forum...

I don't think it's about 'how much info' there is about each shoe...

It's about collating all the data and have it in a more usable/searchable format.

We need like the Discogs of Superstars - good thing about wikis though is that everyone can join in and add to teh knowledge.

I think the key is to set out what info there is about each shoe and get a good format ironed out before the database gets too big and it become too hard to retro fit any changes.

My Suggested Fields
Name: Official Name of the shoe
Nicknames: Unofficial Name of the shoe
Release Date: (possibly just year or season)
Colourways: Colour variants released
Limited: List the quantity that were manufactured if known.
Art Numbers: Known art/serial numbers associated with the shoe
Designer: Who designed it (Adidas for normal shoes).
History: A narrative section listing any information about the shoe, the designer's background how the shoe fits in with the fashions of that year etc etc.
Photos: Standardised set of photos - a series of photos of a preset size, from preset angles. Show the show from both sides, front, back, angled shot, in box, tongue labels (inside and out), sole, tags, in-box, accessories (if any).

Fake Information A narrative section listing information pertaining to known fakes, how to spot them, things to watch for etc.
Fake Photos: Photos of fake details.

Even if it's a bog standard mass market Superstar all of these fields could be filled in, even if the text is short.
