My Shoe Heaven Is In This Store

Am I alive? That’s what I thought when I saw pictures of this Sneakerology store in Sydney, Australia. See I have an inordinate amount of love for sneakers and shoes, and this store layout – ash;which is very museum-like – is perfect

The shoes are organised in a shelving system that alternates shoes and a white box light (that doubles as a label) in a 200mm x 600mm box. Each level is offset by half a unit and repeats itself to create sneaker nirvana. There’s also an interactive kiosk where customers can learn about the history of the shoe.

To you it may look like a snazzy Foot Locker. To me, it really is shoe heaven. I need to take my sabbatical in Sydney. [Sneakerology via Dezeen]

    Yeah it’s a new store done by the Espionage guys. Looks dope.

    sAmiZZle: Sneaker culture in Melbourne is dead. Everyone started jocking the next trend and rocking Authentics. RIP Provider.

    Yeah I’ve been there a few times, the lighting hurts my eyes and it’s hard to focus.

    I’m just amazed to see a shoe store that has more than 3 pairs of men’s shoes.

    Seriously, when I go into a shoe store these days I feel like I’m in the wrong place, or at least in the way, restricted to this tiny corner of men’s shoes, surrounded by heels.

    shame the website is so crap. I just tried to look at about 10 pairs and only one of them actually displayed the full size image.
