Why should you have specialized shoe storage?
Let’s face it; you sneakerheads don’t drop over $100 on a pair of Nike Air Jordans, old-school Adidas sneakers, retro leather Pumas or comfy Vans, just to wear them for a week and then move onto something else. Well, not unless you’re Kanye West and you have millions of dollars to spare.
For most of you kick connoisseurs out there, you want to make sure that your sneaker investments stay fresh all year round, and that every time you put them on, it feels like you’ve just bought them new out of the shop.
Whether your shoes are fabric, leather or suede, looking after them means two things: putting in the work to keep them clean and well-maintained, and having a high-tech storage solution for your kicks that not only looks stylish but also keeps them in optimum condition when you’re not wearing them.
Best conditions for your shoes
Humidity, heat, sunlight and dust all create problems for your shoes if you allow exposure. White soles become yellow and oxidized, the material becomes stiff, and those natural creases and folds you get in your sneakers from wearing become cracks and fissures over time.
The lifespan of a poorly cared-for pair of sneakers can be as little as one year, while a well-maintained and stored pair can last you for three years or even more. Given how much you spend on a pair of sneakers, would you not want to get all the possible extra mileage out of them that you can?
Say goodbye to shoe racks, boxes and cabinets
Now, of course, any storage for your kicks is better than no storage, and all of them have their advantages. A simple rack keeps them off the ground, allowing your shoes to breathe, and freeing up space in your crib – whether it’s a bedroom or a lounge – for all those other important things, like your beer fridge.
A transparent cabinet or stack of plastic boxes goes one step further and turns your sneaker collection into not just something you wear on your feet, but an impressive decorative piece. This piece allows you to fit your collection into small spaces; why have a collection of sneakers if guests can’t come around and admire them when they’re not on your feet?
The ShoeBoxOne solution to all of your storage needs
ShoeBoxOne takes an innovative and high-tech approach to storing your sneakers. Our shoe boxes are made from high-quality transparent plastic and can be stacked on top of each other up to 8 boxes high. In addition to this, customizable LED under-lighting makes your sneaker collection look even more impressive.
But it’s not just all about looks. Our boxes can be vacuum sealed to prevent oxidation and yellowing. Sensors within the boxes can alert you about temperature and humidity levels. And all of this can be synced up with a smartphone app allowing you to care for your shoes remotely.

Is Your Furniture Outdated? Here’s What You Need To Do (Rank Princess)
Furniture is the heart of a place, much like the people are the soul. Be it an office space, a home, or anywhere else, the furniture is what makes it comfortable and inviting.
Unfortunately, like most good things, it doesn’t last forever. Styles change, the assembly gets creaky; it threatens to break with age and eventually patchwork isn’t an option.
Are these the symptoms of your furniture? If so, then it’s time to roll up your sleeve and explore your options.
Now that you’re sure new furniture is what you seek, you have two choices:
Ready Made Furniture
This is the store-ready product that takes a maximum of ten days to be delivered to you, completely ready for use.
It is machine made and easy to produce in large numbers, perfect for office spaces and other public places. It is also lightweight and cheap, ideal for moving around and large-scale purchase.
Lastly, it is easy to maintain as it doesn’t need to be polished more than once in five years.
The downside, however, is that this type of furniture is not very durable; it is flimsy and will fall apart in a maximum of eight years- even with the best care.
It is usually made of MDF or particle board – which is light and easy to move around but falls apart just as quickly.
The designs are limited to what the factories decide to mass produce, so there’s a restriction in the creativity and uniqueness of a place with such furniture.
Hand Made Furniture
Woodwork crafted by carpenters, using human effort more than machine production comes under this type of furniture.
Made from Teak, Mahogany, Maple, Oak and other hardwoods, the products are durable and long-lasting.
These pieces are often topped with soft plywood like Pine, Fir, Redwood and Cedar to give it a particular shade of brown and an elegant finish from the intricate bark patterns.
Hand making furniture ensures that you use the materials of your choice, ensuring the quality of your furnishing products.
The drawbacks are that they’re heavy and hard to move around, far more expensive than machine-made products as handcrafting is more tiresome, and there’s always the worry that the carpenter might make a blunder, and you’ll be stuck with faulty furnishing.
While both have their pros and cons, the final deciding factors are usually your budget and how long you expect the products to last. The perfect option is the right blend of both.
Products like Sofa sets and dining tables have ever-changing trends and can be durable enough to last the fashion season and a little longer. This will make offices more compelling and give homes a new look.
It is also a very good idea to have computer tables and other such desks as ready-made furniture, as it makes rearranging any room convenient and straightforward.
It is preferred to have permanent furniture like kitchen cabinets, cupboards, cots and dressing tables handmade, as it’s rare that these will need moving around and the classics always look the best.
Dressing tables should be made to fulfil your needs and cots that are handmade are more reliable and have sentimental value, spreading a homely vibe through your living space.
Furnishing is an art, and it is easily mastered – some have it in their blood. It’s always advisable to consult an interior decorator to get the best results at an affordable price.
