Baby Star Shoe Box

While researching Converse packaging for my previous post, I found this clever concept package by Ronny Poon: a triangular box for baby-sized Chuck Taylor All Stars. The box is held closed by a shoelace bow. According to Poon’s web site

A
fun package for toddlers’ Converse shoes. It helps improve children’s
motor skills by allowing the child to lace-up the box. When 5 boxes are
collected they can be placed together to form the Converse star.

Nice example of a close-packaging polyhedral package. And I like that business with the laced up box closure. Not sure whether this shoe box could really assist
in early childhood development, although acquiring 5 pairs of Chuck
Taylors at such a young age might help a child grow up to become this guy.

pretty elaborate with the laces in the box itself.

I can see this working for high heeled women's shoes even better (as far as fit within the box).

or, imagine a limited edition holiday box where it stands vertically and is decorated like a christmas tree :)

Packaging for women's shoes should have a buckle rather than laces.

I love the shoelaces. If I ever have a son I'd definitely buy him these, I'm just not sure if I'd want him to become THIS guy... ;)

Aw, ditto Yael's comments.

But also, I love that this could form the Converse star!!
