Disguised Shoebox Strongboxes

The 'Mandem Safe' Protects Valuables While Looking Like a Nike Box

— July 27, 2016 — Unique
Most people go to Foot Locker to get their Nikes, but the Mandem Safe is flipping the equation by turning people's Nikes into footlockers. The strongbox concept is a safe that's covered in the iconic orange cardboard of a Nike shoebox, allowing frequent Nike wearers to keep their valuables secure while hiding them in plain sight.

Though covered in cardboard, the Mandem Safe's inner walls are made of incredibly strong five-millimeter folded steel. The safe also comes with pre-drilled holes in its base, allowing consumers to secure the Mandem Safe directly to the floor and prevent thieves from simply picking up the entire box and making a run for it. The box's disguise is completely genuine as well, replete with size 10.5 Air Max label, the Nike Swoosh, and the "Just Do It" slogan.

1. Disguised Security Solutions - The Mandem Safe showcases the trend of creating security products that blend seamlessly into everyday objects.

3. Fashion Accessories - By incorporating fashion branding into the design, the Mandem Safe opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in the fashion accessories industry by combining style and security.
