What is your preferred technique for storing your sneakers? Obviously boxes on boxes will only get you so far, as those sort of stacks can start to teeter and get out of control pretty quickly as soon as your collection gets some depth to it. Offering up some interesting solutions is this new video from Ikea, in which the Swedish furniture outfitter redesigns the room of blogger Jess Gavigan utilizing some pretty interesting sneaker centric items. Continue reading to check out the video and tell us in the comments how you’ve got your footwear stash organized.

See this amazing spread of Air Jordans? It might be sold in one fell swoop. Jordan Geller’s ShoeZeum might be the best sneaker collection in the world, and of course, Sneaker News was interested enough to visit the San Diego and the Las Vegas locations before anyone else did, and it looks like his Sin City neighbors – the folks at Pawn Stars located just down the Boulevard – are interested in making an offer. Jordy’s asking a mil – do you think they’ll come to some sort of agreement? Check out this preview clip below and tune in this Monday at 10 PM EST on the History Channel.

If you’re new to the Air Jordan game, you probably have a whole lot of catching up to do. With nearly every original Air Jordan already gone through the Retro cycle (with a few making several comebacks), the available options to build your Air Jordan collection could keep you busy for months – or you can cop this sick 97-pair collection in one fell swoop. This particular lot includes only the Air Jordan 1 through Air Jordan XIII in sizes 10.5-11.0, but nearly every pair brand spankin’ new and there’s some serious heat in here (’94 Retros, Eminem IIs, the original DMP, etc.). The asking price, however, is at $45,000, which boils down to $463.92 per pair, but the comfort of completing a sick library of Air Jordans in just one click might be too tempting if you have that sort of dough to spare (free shipping, though). Check out the entire collection below, and be sure to check the full listing from babiiicakes26 on eBay.

Sneaker News continues its exploration of awe-inspiring sneaker collections on Instagram with this special feature of Air Force 1 aficionado afrokix. The LA-based Force-fiend is very well-known in sneaker circles, often contributing in “best-of” lists while being called on for special AF1-focused features, like the 30 Years/30 Forces piece and a dope showcase at Millennium Shoes last April. His collection spans decades, with his rotation including the most recent AF1-XXX drops, some Friends-and-Family productions, the uber-rare SB Dunk Force 1, and some Retros dating back to 1993, so check out some of his collection below (we didn’t even have to far back to gather all this heat) and check him out live on his Instagram page.

Thanks to the social media picture-sharing juggernaut known as Instagram, it’s been easier than ever to show off a personal sneaker collection or let your followers know what you’re wearing on a daily basis. We’ve noticed many of our Sneaker News Instagram followers have some incredible rotations, so we’re starting with Instagram user uptown2k, who broke the news of the ‘Glow in the Dark’ detail of the Nike LeBron 9 Low ‘LeBronold Palmer’ last night. Check out some of his stash below, and if you’ve got your own sneaker collection on your Instagram (remember, we’re looking for HEAT and great picture quality), we’d like to see it!

The Boston connection is back, New Balance and retailer Ball and Buck converging once again for a New Balance 574 release. The pair sticks to the formula that led the first go round to fly off shelves so quickly, slapping camo canvas on the toe box and ankle collar. The difference is the base, in this case covered in mountain green suede. Do you prefer this pair to the original tan release? Let us know and remember that the Ball and Buck x New Balance 574 ‘Mountain Green’ will hit Ball and Buck on Christmas day.
