Redesigned Sneaker Displays

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'Sole Stacks' is the Sneaker Freak's Answer to Shoe Organization

— July 27, 2016 — Fashion
Sneakerheads generally collect shoes to not only wear them, but also to show them off and as their collection grows they'll need to find a proper shoe organization solution. That's where 'Sole Stacks' comes in. Created by Boston-based footwear designer Jacob Garcia, Sole Stacks works both functionally and aesthetically. The shoe organizer essentially works like a open shelving unit, but each shelf is placed diagonally in opposition to the shelf below it or above it. By doing this, every space of the unit is used up while the zigzag pattern adds to the aesthetic. Sole Stacks are customizable and consumers can choose from two heights, three frames and six shelf materials. There's even an LED lighting option available and at an extra cost.

This shoe organization solution not only works well for sneaker freaks' personal collections, it also could be used to display shoes in stores and galleries to add some flavor and make exhibited products pop out at consumers.
