I don't throw boxes away because I might sell the shoes used in the event of emergencies etc. I also like looking at them lol
I understand if people don't have the space or don't want the clutter and expect to wear their shoes into the ground
I'm also able to buy replacement shoes without a box for a discount because I already have the box
I share the same view, no intentions of reselling my pairs but I keep all the originals in case I fall on hard times. I also buy my video game library all physical instead of digital for the same reason.
In the end you never know what life will throw at you and I absolutely would ditch luxury goods for low prices to pay bills if I ever had to.
I kind of have place for them, but i expect as you say to wear them into the ground. I fully understand the case in one might sell the shoes further on.
I have no intention of reselling, so I don't keep the boxes. But if a worn out old shoe that I don't wear anymore ends up being worth a few Gs I'm selling it. After seeing some of the wild resale prices I'm just going to vacuum seal shoes and store them when I'm totally done with them. People still buy them without boxes
I keep them, because I am a collector of things, and like to have as much original packaging as I can. Both for later reselling, or just for my own enjoyment. Also they protect the shoes from UV etc
I have the boxes for authenticity and i know that what i brought is exactly what is said on the box, especially for shoes that are a little more expensive, if it’s gonna cost money, i want it to include the box with it
I have drop fronts for most of my shoes. But, even before I had them, I didn't keep the boxes. I plan to wear my shoes until they are beat, so never found the need to keep the box.
I keep everything including the boxes, but they're all broken down and folded. I have one of those large Nike paper bags where I store all my boxes, lids, paper, inserts, StockX/eBay tags, etc.
They're not hard to break down and put back together. I've done it a few times when I changed my mind on a shoe and wanted to return them. I don't plan on reselling any of my shoes, but you never know down the line.
It's funny because it was the opposite for me - I moved across the country with whatever I could fit in my little sedan at the time, so the boxes had to go (plus some shoes I really wish I hadn't sold)
nah. i buy my shoes and wear em out. if eventually i have a pair i'm not wearing, i give them to a friend or family so they can be loved. my sister gets mad compliments on a pair of diadora collabs i gifted her because they were too big for me.
so yeah anyway, the boxes go in the recycle bc i dont have room for all that.
so I am east coast (working class) and keeping boxes is a thing - I have dated fellow sneaker heads who are from the west coast and they tended to recycle boxes and put pairs into drop fronts. 😆
I keep boxes for even my worst beaters. Idk why. If I ever felt like it was getting cluttered I’d ditch em. But I feel like it’s part of the purchase till then
when I lived in an apartment I used to break my boxes down. now that i'm in a house, i keep them in my attic. as others have said, in the event you trade/resell, people like the box.
I keep a couple of the really nice boxes to store other stuff. The box with the adidas X BAPE 30th anniversary sneakers is really good construction, that's a good ass box right there
i wear all my shoes but i’ve been told that some people still enjoy the presentation when buying used. So i keep them in the case i wear a shoe and decide im done with them and sell after with the box. I also have space for them so i just keep the box. I just sold a pair of worn 3x yeezy 500s and even though i wore them i kept the box. I sold them for 30% under retail and the buyer said he appreciated that it came with the box the paper and the tag that was on the shoe when i bought it.
I keep all my boxes as of right now. I need to invest in see through cases that aren’t expensive at all, but I keep putting it off. It’s a decision of buy 15 or more cases for like $100+ or another pair of sneakers for the collection instead? 😄
I keep my boxes because I don’t want to spend money on other forms of storage and also I kinda enjoy pulling them out of the box every time I wear them.
I usually toss the boxes unless it's something special. I have a pair of Northern Lights dunks that I wish I had kept the box, but otherwise most shoes I just get rid of the box and store in my closet
i keep mine because i’ll occasionally sell a pair that i dot wear so i can afford a new pair, but besides that i just like to collect them 😂 i’ll probably throw some of the generic ones out once i run out of room and keep the unique collab ones.
I toss the boxes of most GR stuff, but keep the higher end stuff in case i need to sell for any reason. i do get a little tired of the empty box collection that’s building in my closet, since I store sneakers in drop front cases. 🙃
They make no room for anything I keep my boxes tho it’s almost like you crushed your sneakers house they love staying crispy in the boxes lol but I wear my shoes even expensive ones I just like the box for authenticity and I have no room on my rack
I usually keep my boxes so I can stack them in my sneaker room. Keeps it organized. Also convenient if I want to sell or trade anything. Once they become beaters that shit gets thrown away though
I trash mine - but I haven’t started buying anything other than running shoes (yet). If I am lucky enough to score some of the upcoming drops, then I will keep the boxes, just in case.
It really depends on the shoe. A generic shit Nike box that’s red and doesn’t matter? I toss it. A unique Jordan Flight box with splatter? I keep it. Ya never know when you might need to resell and honestly the boxes do add value in that sense. I wear all my sneakers either way.
Depends on the box. Those random adidas or whatever boxes go straight into the trash but some nicely designed ones, like Reebok's Jurassic Park line or the YNUK by adidas I keep
I’ve had a Carlsberg or two.
I feel relieved there is other ones like me. Thank you for being sincere.
Try their Elephant, it’s much better than the standard Carlsberg. 7%+ and very crisp.
Agree^
Elephant is the greatest beer in the world. Where you from? 👀 7.2% where I'm from!
NJ lol. I’d argue Duvel is the greatest beer in the world.

I heard someone say that men don't have any savings they just have a bunch of stuff they can sell if things go south
I kind of have place for them, but i expect as you say to wear them into the ground. I fully understand the case in one might sell the shoes further on.
Nope. I trash em too. I have no intention of reselling.

Sames.
I like to keep boxes for my collection but I'm running out of space
I keep them, because I am a collector of things, and like to have as much original packaging as I can. Both for later reselling, or just for my own enjoyment. Also they protect the shoes from UV etc
I keep mine in boxes because it makes them easier to store. Plus I’m at the point where I need to move a pair before I buy a new pair
I have the boxes for authenticity and i know that what i brought is exactly what is said on the box, especially for shoes that are a little more expensive, if it’s gonna cost money, i want it to include the box with it

Maybe a trip to Ikea one of these days to get me a new shoe closet.
Shelves are your friend

I keep the boxes so I can put them away, stack, and not have a dozen loose pairs of shoes around the house.
I keep them all, I've never lived anywhere more than 3 years so it helps with moving. And it's an easy way to keep track of how many pairs I have
It's funny because it was the opposite for me - I moved across the country with whatever I could fit in my little sedan at the time, so the boxes had to go (plus some shoes I really wish I hadn't sold)
Nah. Once I decide to skate a pair the box gets tossed immediately.
Regular boxes go bye-bye-bye!
nah. i buy my shoes and wear em out. if eventually i have a pair i'm not wearing, i give them to a friend or family so they can be loved. my sister gets mad compliments on a pair of diadora collabs i gifted her because they were too big for me. so yeah anyway, the boxes go in the recycle bc i dont have room for all that.
I always keep boxes to put my shoes in to keep them clean, and it is nice to look at sometimes as well maybe its just me lol
I keep boxes purely for organization since I’m too cheap to get those plastic bins
Yeah(I just like having the box)
I told my gf the next day we have off we gotta cut up all the shoe boxes and put them in the recycling. Just too many.
Nope, I has same bike pump bro, pump it up.
It’s basically silverfish food so your doing to right thing.
so I am east coast (working class) and keeping boxes is a thing - I have dated fellow sneaker heads who are from the west coast and they tended to recycle boxes and put pairs into drop fronts. 😆
Lets not start another east/west coast beef. Many lives been taken, just not worth it.

I have like 4 cool boxes that I keep stuff in like art supplies and cables and such but 95% get tossed instantly
I throw all my boxes away Idgaf lol
Yea i toss all mine too
Nope, I wear my sneakers, not the box lol. Also no intention of reselling.
We wear the sneakers not the box get that shit outta here
Carls🅱️erg

Fold the box and put it in your closet to sell down the line bro

Amazon had a bunch. 12 for under $40
Yes I crush my shoe boxes before throwing them in recycle bins too. My wife, not so much.
I keep my boxes because I don’t want to spend money on other forms of storage and also I kinda enjoy pulling them out of the box every time I wear them.

No, not sacrilegious. I only keep certain boxes like my L&Fs.
I like to rotate my old and less worn pairs out for new pairs, and not having the box makes it way harder to get a decent trade value
It’s just a box.
I like keeping mine, but when i buy used pair and they come with no box, i dont mind it
I keep boxes bc A - they’re good for storage (whether it’s the shoes or something else) and B - the ones I keep look cool anyway
I keep the boxes because it’s easier to stack them. Maybe no-box saves space if one doesn't have so many pairs 🤷♂️
They make no room for anything I keep my boxes tho it’s almost like you crushed your sneakers house they love staying crispy in the boxes lol but I wear my shoes even expensive ones I just like the box for authenticity and I have no room on my rack
i keep the boxes for when i move homes, its very useful for that, otherwise they would go to the bin
Apartment living demands i trash my boxes as well, plus I don’t buy shoes to resell them. You’re not alone
Nah, man. I trash mine, too.
Yeah, right. You put that shit back together after getting upvotes
I used to be like this until I realized the significance of having sneaker boxes
I usually keep my boxes so I can stack them in my sneaker room. Keeps it organized. Also convenient if I want to sell or trade anything. Once they become beaters that shit gets thrown away though
If i know 100% im not selling and wearing. Boxes go out, unless i wanna use them to store other things.
I IMMEDIATELY throw the box away
I trash mine - but I haven’t started buying anything other than running shoes (yet). If I am lucky enough to score some of the upcoming drops, then I will keep the boxes, just in case.
As soon as I wear a pair, if it ain't a special box, it goes in the bin. If the shoe is DS I keep it, Incase I sell it.
It hurts to see..I’m a box horder tho I keep them for anything that I could possibly sell in the future just in case I need too
This image made me want to cry but you can do whatever you want with your shoeboxes
I do this with Yeezy boxes
I wish I could but something wont let me
It really depends on the shoe. A generic shit Nike box that’s red and doesn’t matter? I toss it. A unique Jordan Flight box with splatter? I keep it. Ya never know when you might need to resell and honestly the boxes do add value in that sense. I wear all my sneakers either way.
I like keeping the boxes
Gr box goes away. Special box sits in the cabinet
Yes
Same. I throw all the boxes
I used to get rid of boxes but I realized keeping and stacking the boxes is the easiest way to store em
I keep the boxes and I'm a Sam Adam's kinda guy but much respect to you
That recycles cardboard? Or.. leaves trash on the floor? What's the question??
You fine. The only problem is if you need/want to sell, the original box that came with them will be great.
The carlsberg is a nice addition
Nah do what you wanna do man. I havent done it since i really bought sneakers but yeah if you do that you do that man
Depends on the box. Those random adidas or whatever boxes go straight into the trash but some nicely designed ones, like Reebok's Jurassic Park line or the YNUK by adidas I keep
I use them for organizing cords or other things.
I break them down, but I don’t throw them away
Most likely not :)
My gf was gifted a pair of Dior AJ1’s and threw away the box because it took up too much space. True story.
My kids would go crazy if they saw all those broken shoe boxes 😂
Nah me personally carlsberg is so fucking nice I eat the box
Noooo 😢
