- I wonder what happened to the shoebox guy? He had some nice designs.utopian
- He's still doing shoeboxes by the looks of it.PhanLo
- he randomly emails me once every year or so with another half-insane "I didn't take my meds for 3 weeks" rant about how he's going to be rich on these again.monospaced

- Oooh... a plastic box... nothing like they sell at Container Storemonospaced
- lol at how fucked-up you need to spell things to get the URL.MrT
- Christ. I have 50+ pairs of sneakers - the last thing I would need is *another* set of boxes taking up space.face_melter
- Meh, some people get pretty crazy with the sneaker collecting. Displaying them vertically like the pic on here might have some appeal to the hype beast crowd.gilgamush
- Needs a little shelf lengthwise so you could have left and right not sitting on each other for that to work i thinkgilgamush
- The hype beast stuff is something I never fell into - I guess some would be appalled that I wear my Space Jams instead of have them rotting in a box.face_melter
- I'm sure they would have an aneurism over it. I'm a function over form type of guy though, all of this is alien to megilgamush

"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 -
- commented on next page, good point, this has been discussedcirquemedia
- < this. exactly this!lvl_13

Bjladams... You are correct, this is the biggest concern of mass producing this. Trust me, I have had an hour long conversation with Adidas packaging guys, the two piece design and the amount of material is the hardest part to overcome... I am working on a dieline/template for a one piece and two piece... Technically you can make the box a tad smaller and angle the sliding tray in the back to use less material. Adidas wanted this design purely for the D ROSE 4 launch kits and higher end "swag kits" they call them... The average shoe box at Adidas literally cost 25 cents... It would take a premium brand to mass produce this. Good point though.
