This shoe rack doesn't just organize but doubles as a shelf as well. It's stylish enough to be a welcoming addition to your home.
2. Floating Sneaker Wall
Create a floating sneaker wall using bar brackets. Pretty much how you would see shoes being displayed on stores. It's simple and makes a wall look clean.
3. Shelves
Simple and easy. Use shelves and brackets to mount on the wall or even inside your closet, just to keep everything together.
4. Back-Lit Sneaker Wall
Bring your sneakers to life while they're on display by giving your wall of collection a lighting accent. Looking in a room with this back-lit accessory will accentuate this portion of the wall, highlighting your priceless kicks.
5. Wall Mounted Shoe Box
An ingenious way to show your love for sneakers and being creative at the same time is wall mounting a shoebox. This will serve as a rack and at the same time a safe container to hold your shoes. Some people would throw away the shoe box but mounting it to the wall as a rack can work efficiently.
6. Jordans Clock
Create a wall clock out of your Jordan sneaker collection. You need to have the Jordan 1 to Jordan 12 — and use it to represent the hours of the clock. All you need is a wall-mounted rack for the shoes and a wall-mounted hour, minute, and second-hand for your Jordans clock to be complete.

7. Giant Shoe Box
Get your woodworking game on. This giant shoebox can be modified to any design you prefer. Best of all, despite its simplicity, it acts as a shoe rack and shoe cabinet.
8. PVC Pipe
Sneakers can fit in big PVC pipes. When wall-mounted, it can serve as a circular rack where you can put your shoes in. It will become easier to pull out and put in your shoes and at the same time look very neat.
9. Pallet Rack
Use a pallet to make a shoe rack. There are different ways you can use a pallet as a rack but with just a few adjustments it can serve as a great project to hold your shoes.
10. Sneaker Wand
A shoe wand is a simple rack made of wood and a metal harness to support the sneakers. This is simple and perfect for those who are beginners to DIYs.
11. Industrial

A great idea for a DIY shoe rack is to make it look industrial by using pipes. A combination of black and mahogany-colored wood as a rack for the support. You can attach the pipes to the wall using screws.
