" It was going to be the packaging for the next Derrick Rose branded shoe, the D ROSE 4"
No, it wasn't. You were hopeful that they might buy the idea, but at no time was it ever factually going to be the packaging for that shoe.
- Do you want to see the email saying "make us an offer"? As in how much do you want for it?cirquemedia
- Do you want to see my work on the D ROSE 4 art direction? I came up with the whole look.cirquemedia

^ Why didn't you have this idea? Because you aren't creative. That's why.

Here's what's next!!!!
The first "fucking LED" shoebox! To be continued...

http://www.chrisdarmon.com/NEW-K…One day, when this work is sold and produced... I'm going to write a book on how hard I worked on this, and use "surnames" for all the people that doubted this idea. I will be publishing screenshots of this thread (and how big of a selfish asshole I was in defending my idea) Turn on the lights and the coachroaches scatter...

To be totally honest, the design isn't bad. But how much does shoe packaging really resonate with consumers? It's an honest question. Maybe shoe boxes have been the way they are - relatively unchanged - for so long because A) they're frequently disposed of, and B) shoe makers want to keep costs as low as possible on production of boxes.
I have over 30 pair of shoes, and at least a dozen pair are in my closet in boxes. Most of these are in clear plastic boxes I bought so I can see what's inside them, what shoes are there. They're not quite perfect, but they work. As for the others, they're in original shoe boxes of all sizes in the closet. Sometimes I forget what's even in some of them, mostly because there are a few pair I wear daily.
So, I guess my question to you cirquemedia is what specifically are you trying to revolutionize? Shoe packaging for niche purposes (high end athletic shoes, launches, etc.)? The shoe box used for all shoes by one particular brand?
And what do you tell people you talk to about why they need this? Is your angle that cool/amazing shoes need new packaging that reinforces this?
I'm still curious what your Kickstarter angle is. My hunch is that when nobody buys your idea, you'll go to Kickstarter to sell individual shoe boxes using your idea so that people can buy them to store their shoes in, to have some kind of consistency across boxes. If that's where you're going eventually, do you still plan to use all the materials you're talking about? A clear box I could see into is the only practical version I could see buying. Fancy materials just add cost, and shoe boxes are an out of sight, out of mind thing that live in the dark in a closet for the most part. Also - how do you solve the problem of difference size shoes - ex. low tops, high tops, boots - that may be incompatible in one standard box size?
