Hi guys

Now a lot of us, have a lot of pairs of soops...

And most of us have a few things other than soops too..

I know nearly all of us keep them in the boxes, and the majority have some kind of storage system set up as obviously managing this amount of sneakers can be pretty tricky...

But how do you find yours amongst the masses?

I only have about 25 pairs, and i sometimes struggle to find the ones i want, as i have some that are similar colours so the labels on the boxes are v similar...

Do you write on your boxes?

Stick little pics of the sneakers on the end of the box?

Cut the end off the box?

Discuss!

I don't keep mine in boxes, but what you can do is take a pic of your kicks, print it and put it on the outside of the box

i recommend using the printer at your place of employment - ink ain't cheap.

mine are in boxes on shelves, i kinda know where each pair is mostly but sometimes i open a box to find a pair i forgot i had, its always a nice little bonus when that happens

Mine are easy to find...

Haven't got the biggest collection but I keep em in the drawers under my bed. I make sure to always put the box bkac in the same spot and just "know" where they are. Normally put the standard boxes between the slightly different ones (35ths or skates or consortiums) to further lock where they are in my head.

^ oh yeah, i'm loving that Dirty, where do you keep you're boxes?

I wont let myself build another coz that would give me too much reason to pick up another 30 or so pairs!

The boxes are all stuffed away in the closet, I used to keep em all boxed but this way is more fun!

I use the bookcase, Boxes next to the bookcase and the overflow and beaters in the back of the closet (not pictured)



Sometimes I just sit there for a long time wondering what will go best, what have I not worn in a while... The bookcase is very easy to utilize but female guests give me a lot of shit for it.

in my closet...all in boxes,,,,i try 2 keep the ones i have not worn yet in a different pyle

[pokey27]

The 35th's i use the sticker method to find which 1s i want and for the others i ave afew piles "favourites" "unworn" etc but normally the 1st box i fall over i shove on me feet.
But hoping to sort out some shelvin,storage after xmas

The ones I keep in boxes are all piled up, so I've written on the boxes what's in them, like 'Run DMCs' or 'black snake vins' or stuff like that. The rest are on a shoeshelf and easy to find.

Would be nice if each pair of Supes came with a sticker showing the model so you could put it on the box or, even better, simply a pic of the shoe printed on the box itself. It would make things a lot easier, for shops too I guess.

Good question mate. I was late for work on Friday because I was looking for my Blue Note promods and I couldn't find the bloody box. I went through most of them twice before finding them!
Some of them I can tell what they are from the colour and style description on the end of the box, but some I have to open up to see what they are.
The easiest ones to find are my anniversaries, because I wrote the shoe number on the box, so all I have to do is just pick out one box and check the legend on the bottom.
My long term plan is to take a profile shot of each shoe, print out a small copy and stick it on the end of the boxes. Until then, I have to rely on the above!

I'm liking the filing systems! afraid mines not quite as sophisticated, in boxes in a cupboard, and i tend to pick one out and then match the oufit to them. occasionally i have a powerful pull towards a particular pair and i do have to hunt around and get the cupboard out! i always meant to invest in those clear plastic boxes you can get, but they're pricey, and i wouldnt know what to do with my boxes...(no way will i throw them)
