Maybe it's just me, but I love how they gave these an Anti Hero touch!

I actually like these shoes boxes better, not for that long life lasting, but because shipping is extremely cheaper with this light weight boxes. I remember paying A LOT just to ship syndicates because of the weight of the box.

I usually just buy those plastic shoe box containers from walmart or go to the container store...it helps me see what shoes are what through the clear.

This is why I just print out the pictures and tape them to the box. Don't have to spend extra money on clear boxes.
I use painter tape so I don't ruin the boxes.

and +1 for drawer boxes for a better stack!

Ive had to turn a few people away because of the pigskin....thats why I make a special point to make note of it, for those that can't / choose not to wear it.
I know they are utilizing it more and more for its durability, and then the suede is a little thicker and more lush....so there definitely will be a few disappointments down the road.
If I ever get a chance to help design a shoe, I will take that into consideration and try to make up for all the pairs you guys had to pass on.
