3 Stylish Ways to Store Your Sneaker & Shoe Collection
Achieve footwear feng shui.
Sneakerheads are all eventually hit with the same issue — shoe storage. When your collection begins to reach numbers in excess of 10, finding ways to properly preserve your footwear becomes difficult. I absolutely refuse to have my beloved Air Force 1s or UltraBOOSTs hanging behind my door or sitting on my closet floor collecting dust. In an effort to merge home decor and practical sneaker storage, we’ve found three solutions that’ll make it easy to view your collection.
Everyone’s system can be different. The shoes I wear most rest on shelves in my room while the rest of my out-of-season kicks are proudly installed where people can see them. The option you choose should work best for your space and make life easier overall.
Peep our three stylish alternatives to storing your shoes below.
Clear Containers

Stampd x IKEA SPÄNST Transparent Shoe Box, available at IKEA for $35 USD
Clear containers are the most Instagram-friendly way to store your sneakers. The clear boxes keep dust and other debris away from you shoes while also allowing them to be on full display. Stampd collaborated with IKEA to create the SPÄNST box which was specially designed to be stacked without scratching. For those who wish to create an affordable installation, you can also try these $8 USD drop-front boxes which make grabbing shoes extra convenient.
