Gambol's limited-edition shoe boxes for teens were inspired by lockers, the storage spaces that give students both privacy and the freedom to express themselves individually. The shoe brand's packaging design draws from the imagery from teenage movies where students congregate in the hall before heading to the classroom, and with these limited-edition designs, teens can take their own portable locker anywhere.
The shoe box design was envisioned as a keepsake storage solution that could be used as more than just a design for getting a pair of shoes from point A to B. The boxes are stackable and can be displayed individually or in groups, plus they can be customized with stickers to help with expressing one's personal style.
