I have mine boxed on a bookshelf, but they're semi grouped - eg: vins on the top shelf, and generally I know which ones are where on the shelves, mostly memory, but when that fails I've always got the labels to go by. I'm slowly working on making stickers for all of them using the template I've got for the DIY colourways thread, tis time-consuming, but will look nice when I'm done

Easy for me, all my trainers are laid out in pairs over the entire floor in my spare room. Supes are on the front row so it's just a matter of deciding which ones and stepping into them

mine are all stacked in boxes in a big cupboard/wardrope, i know most of the colourways by the description on the boxes, but sometimes i find a pair i forgot i had! Which is almost as good as picking up a brand new pair!
*EDIT* here is a pic of the cupboard

I just thought I'd bumpity this thread with an update.
I've been thinking that I just don't wear my superstars that are in boxes very often... because I forget what I have stored away. I should also mention that I can't just keep them in the boxes they come with because I don't have a lot of the original boxes.
So I was trying to think of a way to better see what I have and came up with making ID cards to attach to the boxes. A visual representation is best.
I photographed all my regular rotation in the exact same pose and printed them off as wallet sized photos on paper. I took the printed papers to Kinkos and had them laminated and cut them up into photo ID cards.
Here are the cards, cut up. I also bought some HandiTack, which is an adhesive sticky substance kinda like molding clay. I stick them to the box. I made up cards for all of my Supes so I can rotate around if needed.
Here are the boxes with the stuck on ID cards, next to my bookcase that has my regular rotation.

WOW King, that looks awesome!! I've been wanting to do that just haven't gotten around to it yet. School tends to take up a lot of my time, oh well, hopefully I can organize my shoes soon.

Excellent job Farmer--Will have to implement that myself. Combining the best of both worlds, having the soops boxes which takes up less space and keeps them fresh, but also easy to see and select from. Well done!

I read all the labels four times, choose a different pair, and then find the ones I was looking for when I put the box back...
