The team at How Life Unfolds partnered with Matt Halfhill of Nice Kicks to celebrate shoebox design. The pop-up museum breaks down the sneaker box into three categories: design, brand experience and uncommon concepts.

Having access to an exhibit like this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for packaging designers seeking inspiration. From single hinged to drawer-styled shoeboxes, you can expect to see everything from paperboard to plexiglass collectible packaging.

The Shoebox Museum will feature vintage Reebok, early Vans “Off the Wall”, the evolution of the cult classic Air Jordan and more. Get hands on with the brands and boxes that have propelled sneaker culture to new heights in the last decades.
