lvl13, here it is... 50% done, sexy renders with neon acrylic, wood, carbon fiber, faceted gold(!), and platinum(!!) versions coming soon... This work is just starting, getting a rewrite and all new renders as well. Be forewarned, everything is "rough" and in the initial stages - so much work to do. I'll anxiously await memes and cute kittens with handles on them while I laugh my way to the bank... I need another month before this work is in a good place, regardless, HERE:

If anybody would actually like to help me with this project, I'd gladly accept your offer. I sold this idea to Adidas in literally 1 minute only to be screwed over to find out they are secretly trying to create a version of this shoebox behind my back. It's designed for Nike, I won't lie it would be a let down if they pass. Only time will tell. Working on packaging graphics and actual shoebox layouts next.

Nice idea to get your pumps home from the shop without needing another bag. One drawback is that not everyone likes to walk along the street showing off that they've just bought a $200 pair of Jordans and would rather their purchase was more anonymous (in a bag).
Seems like Puma did something quite similar a couple of years ago.
The genius of their design is that the holding packaging (the bag) can be re-used for other items.http://www.thedieline.com/blog/2…

- $200 isn't expensive though. That's like LOW END for shoe prices.monospaced
- Where the fuck do you buy your shoes at? $200 is fucking ridiculous for a pair of sneakersd_rek
- "anonymous purchase" So they never get warn in public ever? You go home and hide your trainers away so as not to show off?HAYZ1LLLA
- off?HAYZ1LLLA
- its easier to grab someones bag from them in the street than it is to take their shoes off their feet!23kon
- No one wants second hand sneakersanimatedgif
- oh wait, your'e talking about stupid sneakers? I thought you were talking about nice shoes, not something for sportsmonospaced
- If you read, I mention the puma bag at the very end. It came out in 2009, mine came out in 2000.cirquemedia
- And I was saying in general to 23kon that $200 is chump change for shoes in general.monospaced
- It was just a number. could have been $50023kon
- 13 years to develop this shoe box to this position then?!23kon

I have three shoeboxes sitting here from the last couple of years and every single one has a built in handle. They're not made of carbon fiber though.

Is it just me, or are you heading down JesseJensen's unfortunate path? Something about the weird shrill mix of antagonised, pained ego flustering around, throwing babies all around.

"This is a public proposal to anyone that is looking to make easy money. The idea sells itself, however If you can help me arrange a face to face meeting and sell this idea to any major shoe manufacturer, I...."
Best bit right there.

Dude, it's been done, there are over 200,000 patents relating to shoe boxes: https://www.google.com/search?tb…

- If you don't think I've already researched this, you're a fucking moron. I'll send you a nice basket of "fuck you' when this is sold.cirquemedia
- SOLD.cirquemedia
- lol at the last pics - brilliant.
way to miss the joke, cirquemadia.detritus - I saw it. hilarious... There is a big difference between a "utility patent" and a "design patent" assholecirquemedia

"Everything has been done"...
Are you telling me that designers like:
Invented album art? Did he invent photoshop!? Nope, he's just using the tools and imagery that have existed for quite some time in a new and exciting way. That is what I am doing. Are any of those patents for a handled sliding shoebox that stands, stacks, and carries? And allows for design aesthetics that no one is creating right now? Nope. Carry on, as will I. :) Back to drawing pictures of myself on the wall or making animated gifs.

Even if my system doesn't get patented, I will have design solutions that will put me in an excellent place to get retail design and packaging gigs that I have always wanted. People like animated gif can go back to jerking off their brother in the basement of his mom's house.
- that's seriously the most realistic thing you've ever said heremonospaced
- best case, you have some mock-ups for a fucking page in your portfolio, congratulations, you're the same as usmonospaced
- and by the way, your'e not hte first asshole to design shoeboxes, asshole, classes do the same thing in schoolsmonospaced
- I bet half of QBN has packaging concepts in their port just like these somewheremonospaced
- I don't even have a brother :'''''''(animatedgif

does the extra material offset the cost of a bag?
obviously not on the higher grade novelty ones, but just on the regular board box design -
