Some pairs you know cold. The fifteenth pair, and the box in the back, you don't. Point the camera at the shoe and the model, colorway, and year land in the archive next to it. What you get: • Point-and-identify: model, colorway, and release year from the shoe itself • Construction and colorway detail for checking a pair against the reference • A full collection archive, every pair in one place, edits stand • Acquisition date and condition logged on each entry • Release story and run notes saved next to the pair, not lost to time • Per-pair archive entry that stays open for your own notes Free and Premium: Soledex is free to download, with three identifications and three Assess runs included every day. Unlimited identification, unlimited Assess, the full reference catalog, exporting, and unlimited reminders require a Soledex Premium subscription (auto-renewable, priced in the app before purchase). How it feels: Rico works one detail at a time. The crease across the toe box, the yellowed gum sole, the tag inside the tongue. One observation per pair, grounded in the shoe in front of him. He'll name the year when it earns the line, and stay quiet when it doesn't. Who it's for: • The collector who owns enough pairs that the shelf outpaced the memory • The buyer who came home with a colorway already sitting three boxes deep • The keeper who wants the release details ready when someone asks Privacy: Your archive lives on your device. Photos and notes stay in your collection, not a public feed. See the privacy policy for the full picture. Worth pulling the box for.
