How to Display Sneakers

Show off your sneaker collection by displaying it creatively as art. Using shelving or boxes to display sneakers will not only help you locate your sneakers, but it will also keep them in pristine condition. Before building a display, decide if you want to display the sneakers for art work in your home, or if you want it as a display for yourself -- out of the eye of visiting guests. Creating and building a display is a simple task that should take minimal time.

Instructions

    • 1

      Hang the shoes on the wall by installing hooks and showing off the different sole designs. Purchase standard hooks that screw into the wall and arrange them to your preference. Hang the shoes, with the soles facing outward, onto the hooks. Place the hooks on a bare living room wall to create a one-of-a-kind accent wall.

      Build shelves around the room and arrange the sneakers. Shelving can consist of a plank of wood built onto the wall to hold multiple shoes. Use the shelving to serve as a shoe rack to hold the shoes, and display them, until you need to wear them. Coordinate the shoes by style or color for easy location. Build the shelving in an office for display and accessibility.

      Create small shelves for the individual shoes. Like a plank of wood, small shelving will display the shoes and serve as a shoe organizer. The smaller shelves will only accommodate one pair of sneakers; therefore, place the shelving around the room to create a wall of shoe art.

      Place the sneakers into clear display boxes. These boxes are found at warehouse supply companies and are large enough to accommodate one pair of sneakers. Place the sneakers on a shelf or table and place the clear box over the shoes to display and keep in mint condition.
