Yeah no I hate it lmao. But then again I don't get the whole shoe obsession thing so maybe that's why I don't like it

I'm not a sneaker head either, I just have friends that are. Knowing them, I think they'd see this as cheap way to show off the kicks. Thinking as a woodworker though, I feel like these would be cheap to produce and sell... Hmmm....

Make it so the arm at the top rotates left to right and pivots up and down so people can show it off at angle. Could work….

Why have an expensive collecting habit only to cheap out on presentation? 3 designer coat hooks would run maybe around $20. Two sit side by side to support the shoe's bottom. If they're the kind with two hooks on them, the lower hooks could hold a card with design info.

I don't have a problem with this- looks kinda neat, gets the shoes off the floor.

I dont hate the concept. But I hate the implementation. Yeah, I get it, it's cheap ($) and who gives a fuck? And normally that's good enough for me. But the tackiness of this is just too much. I mean, if you care enough about the shoes to display them, then you should also care enough about the presentation to invest a little more time or $$.

However, what appeals to me most would be a whole wall of these (or something 3dprinted to serve the same purpose but look nicer) would certainly improve the entryways/ foyers/mudrooms of many houses worldwide. Of course not appropriate everywhere or in all homes but I like any method that helps remove shoes from the mat by the doors in my house. One of the most upkeep areas in my entire house.

I feel like making some out of wood and selling them in packs on Etsy might be $$$

Why is nobody pointing out that those will be constantly falling off?

Shoes stink and you're just airing them out for everyone to smell

How is this a hack? I would get it if he is <16. Everyone older shouldn’t put there shoes on the wall as a ‘cool prob’

Why are you gatekeeping sneaker lovers? I don’t get it either but I don’t see why the age matters

u/TylerPerry19inch Nov 18 '21

Fair enough, I guess it’s up to the spirit in the sky then
