Shoe storage is so confusing, I’ve watched videos from well respected sneaker heads where they swear on their momma that shoes need to breath and you should not keep them in bags or anything air tight. Now miss Nike herself says that I should store them air tight. IDK WHAT TO DO!!

Remember air is what breaks down rubber and the foam nike use for its air sole. Ziplock bags are a great idea.

U shouldn’t use zip blocks bags but if you are u should take out the show a few times so it can breathe a little bit. The reason why u don’t want to keep ur shoes airtight is because the shoe will get no fresh air to breathe so the midsole will crumble directly in ur hands.

Omg you are so beautiful AND your a sneaker legend....literally the whole package. Enjoy ur vids sooo much❣️🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

I'm early. I may as well say that you make great videos Tiffany! Keep on trucking.

New to the channel and really excited about it. Looking forward to more great videos!

Super informative video, definitely made me rethink how I store some of my shoes! :)

Gonna second what others have said: can't wait for a collection vid (or maybe an interview with Jacques where you show all of the shoes you worked on?? Because I somehow never saw those Air Raids before). I also use a bunch of clear containers from the Container Store and IKEA, but I keep my cardboard boxes as often as possible because they feel like a part of the shoe to me. Not great for stacking but I love them, especially the older brown/orange and orange/grey Nike boxes :)

rate this vid, keep up the stellar work Tiffany. other element to manage is light, esp direct sunlight...

I like the sterilite 1924 containers.. I wear a size 13 and they're perfect for my sneakers and boots and I use the iris 110531 containers for my low tops.. Might try some drop fronts soon..

Awesome vid! LOVE your hair!

thanks for the tips! another informative video. :)

Get the glad zip lock storage bags. It will remove air and compress the bag to the shape of your shoe.

Yikes...never knew that about spiders. Time to do some clean up and container shopping. Always learning something knew. #andnowIknow

Really interesting, i like the display, but do you keep the origal boxes even if the kicks are in those plastic storages ?

How about just zip lock back in in the normal boxes? Are you being uber protective with the zip lock and plastic box? I like my OG boxes!

Hey Tiffany, my only question is - while it's definitely good to see what the contents are with clear plastic I wondered about LIGHT/UV damage making shoes fade over time? Now I'm thinking about buying some boxes to protect some of my collection - thanks :) Chris [ex-Retrobok]

you are correct. in the description i mention to keep your shoes away from the light/windows to prevent yellowing and further deterioration from UV.

So when you say zip lock, it’s safe to say that we put the shoes inside the bag and “fully” lock it to avoid air to prolong the life? “Airtight” as u said.. will try that method Tiffany

I don't have a garage and I do not wear shoes in the house. Since COVID, not only do we take our shoes off but I spray the bottoms with alcohol as soon as they are removed. So here's my problem. I have a lot of boots. I store them in plastic containers from the "Container store" but I feel like when I put them back after wearing them they have germs on them. Do you clean your sneakers/shoes after wearing them? I know it's a bit OCD but I'm grossed out at the thought of what may come in from outside on the bottom of a shoe. Prior to COVID, same issue. The streets are full of....UGH! Do you store them after wearing them with out cleaning them first??

maybe consider the drop front boxes from the container store?

Do you have any nike yeezy in your collection? Also did you work on the yeezy line?

Jumpmanbostic uses cheap white hand towels and wraps the shoes instead of the tissue paper in the boxes

How about shoe tree that comes together? Can we put openly without container/box in room temperature? Any harm?

what about good ventilation in those boxes please? you do not have issue with decomposing the outsole due to no air

Spiders love cardboard?!! Great info here and motivation 😆

What do you think is the best way to store running shoes for a very long time like over 3 years. I live in a place where it get wet outside and we have a humid problem. Thanks

When you stated that you think that you would cut up some of your shoes do you mean so that you can use material or different designs off of them to make outfits or some sort of coordination throughout your selected outfit

What about putting the shoe box with shoes in a plastic box, as surely they will be worth more with the original box in the future?

Being a former Nike innovator and Plastics Engineer, you seem like you would know about the materials of the shoes really well. Has anyone reached out to you and asked you about the recent problems with some Jordans, especially 1’s, with black leather. They are developing a GLITTERING affect. Some of my shoes have it so bad it kind of looks like moss growing on rocks except its more clear glittery looking. Any idea why that might be happening? Would the Zip Lock bags help with that? Thanks.

Not sure about the bag but I tried timberland leather protector on mine and they haven’t had any glitter on them yet. I’ve done it on ones with glitter and it hydrated the leather, took it away. So far my collection of DS shoes looks like I just got them. Especially my 2003 patented Chicago.

Woah this different 😯

I got drop front boxes .. Sunlight is a no go but what about having lamps next to the container or the room just generally being lit , I got 11’s in there

Can I put the shoes in the ziplock bag (with the paper or whatever comes with the shoes to keep the shape) and zip the bag tight with no air then store it inside the container?

Are usually leave them in the bag if I buy them at the store or if I order online I leave them in the box they came in

Are plastic heat wrap good idea for storing brand new kicks? Mostly Jordans. J1, J3, J4, J11 to be exact.

Good day Tiffany, I used ziploc bag once to keep my Nike Ace 83 (2003 released original color white leather / navy blue swoosh) and at the time I moved to Malaysia for a few years which is a highly humid country. After 2 years I wanted to put them on and I just noticed that the outsole and ziploc are kinda absorb each other. Maybe it was the case of ziploc quality, since i'm not sure if it was the ziploc brand itself or the case of weather and high humidity. Anyhow it was kinda broke my heart. :))

Would it be alright to maintain the condition of air maxes brand new in the box? if it's just for collection and not wearing them, we normally see DS boxes piling up. I have a few pairs that I wouldn't wanna wear. But afraid that after 10 years it all falls apart 😅

Humidity is a big problem of that. They’ll grow mold or separate like your case. Keep them in a dry place like a cedar closet or something. That’s where mines at. I wipe my collection down 1 or 2 times a year with timberland leather protection. Store them with silica packs to prevent moisture. Be careful with some products or they’ll do the same damage your referring to. Hope this helps!

Which box can it fit us 11 air jordans/dunk?

If I keep the shoes with the boxes in a luggage bag closed with silica gel bags in the luggage .. will the shoes survive . I’m talking about new sneakers …keeping inside luggage means away from air as well..

I keep thinking of more things to add to my comment. Speaking of Air Jordan 11’s, a lot of those have a clear sole. So, it’s imporant to keep them in a plastic bag that is sem open so the soles don’t yellow.

I would assume airtight will last longer but elevation and humidity will impact them also. so many variables.... just wear em and enjoy them. :).
