I love shoe shopping and shoe shops (who doesn’t?) and now I have one more shop on my list to visit. It’s the Shoebox store in New York City, which has recently undergone a cool interior redesign by Brooklyn designers Sergio Mannino Studio.
The Shoebox store features walls covered in over 200 multi-colored, interchangeable panels. The panels, which are finished with lacquer, fabric, or linoleum, can be repositioned with shelves or mirror panels to create a unique display space for the Shoebox store’s haute footwear.
