    Facts, something some people use to measure the validity of an idea...

    1.) My first order from Adidas was for 500 boxes with a budget of $100 per box. We made nearly $10,000 and had an order valued at over $50k. It was for the "hater boot", if you'd like a shoebox or you are slightly curious, send me your address via email and I will send you one of my shoeboxes for free - no questions asked. Monospace, what's your addy? >>>

    2.) My idea is "timeless", there will always be a need for shoe packaging. As you reinforced above - it's the same old shit, time and time again - that crappy cardboard box that cost 25 cents... That is my enemy, that is what I am trying to destroy. That is where my traction grows - the old tired ideas that my work is kicking up dust.

    3.) Networking - working on odd projects like handled shoeboxes has opened the door to so many new partners and clients I never considered a possibility. I worked with former NBA Jonathan Bender (Indiana Pacer/New York Knick) for 1.5 years on various logos and projects - this all came from him liking my design >>> http://chrisdarmon.com/Logos-Vol…

    You'd be amazed at the number of high profile clients we have pitched too.

    4.) You can post animated gifs, but at the end of the day - people willing to take risks, people that see potential will write me... Perhaps that might be you reading this now. If you want to help create something - here's your chance. :)
