Not sure if a thread has already been made (I know one existed in the Dark Realm), so please redirect me if need be.
I am getting back into the game and am expanding my collection but need some help with a few things. First I will detail my short list of shoes in rotation (wearing, not stored for my StockX portfolio).
- AJVIII Bugs Bunny
- AJVIII Phoenix Suns
- AJVIII Aqua
- AJXI Gamma Blue
- AJXI 72-10
- AJXI Space Jam (2016)
- AJXI Cool Grey (2021)
On the way...
- AJXII Taxi
- AJVI UNC Home (somehow got the surprise drop yesterday for retail!)
Not trying to flex, just trying to give a representation of the kind of shoes I wear. Anyway, I am looking for stackable shelves / clear boxes to store these shoes while also allowing me to display them in my room. I have a safe location to store the boxes but do not want to stack them / put too much weight on them.
Does anybody have any suggestions on stackable shoe boxes? Length and height of each doesn't matter but width can't exceed 14".
Thanks guys!

@danali we've had a few but they've died out. let's see if this one sticks

The clear display boxes are pretty expensive last time I checked. I think $30 a pop which can add up depending on collection size. Also some beefier pairs like Jordan 5s may not fit. I'm not a fan of using them, I feel like they stay in better condition in the og box. I use one of these stackable plastic shelves that are pretty common, easy to grab a box and put them back and doesnt take alot of room besides vertical. Maybe use these shelves for most of your collection and display a few of your best pairs in clear display boxes? You may not need a shelf this big but you can detach and add stacks as you need.
-
@508 Yeah I was looking at some of the clear boxes and for a set of 8-12 it is starting to get expensive.
I wish they had racks like the one you posted that were designed for a single pair on each level, as the one you showed would be too wide for me to fit on my wall.

I considered using stackable clear boxes like these with the drop front so you can easily remove a pair. Maybe install shelves on your wall to display but I know it's pretty pricey and again, some pairs may not fit. I think this 12 pack on Amazon is $75

I feel you, I'm usually wearing some comfortable ASICS (not the dad ones) or Kyries but I occasionally will bust out a pair of Js for special occasions
-
These are probably my favorite pair. The paint don't chip like most 3s and its got seude instead of leather, and they go along with any outfit. Not sure how rare they are but I've never seen another pair.

@cwiehebrink_04 when I want pure comfort I got with ultraboosts

@508 Those shoes are over 10 years old - how does the quality hold up?
I just ordered a pair of 2012 Taxi 12's and my only concern was the quality of a 10 year old shoe.

They hold up great. Shit I still have a pair of 2001 Mocha 3s that are intact lol
-
@508 That's what I love to hear lol.
-
@danali I have a bunch of pairs from around 2007. That's when they started branching out a bit with the lifestyle colorways instead of just og colors. I have a pair of burgundy 5s that are still in great condition.

@atgalex I can tell you right now that those will be up for $400-500 the week before drop, on GOAT or StockX. Their resell value will skyrocket in the weeks after they drop.
Good luck to anybody trying to snipe a pair on release!
-
@danali yeah I’m just hoping i can snipe one pair lol all I’m asking for but I know it’s 1/1000000 chance
