The Spreadsheet: A Collector’s Blueprint
This collaborative spreadsheet acts as a meticulous planning tool. Collectors log every key detail of their sneakers, categorizing AJ models by:
- Size variants
- Colorway groups
- Series themes (e.g., "Flu Game," "Bred")
Beyond inventory data, the document includes dedicated sections for physical display planning such as:
- Rack configurations (floating shelves, transparent cases)
- Three-point lighting diagrams to minimize glare
- Custom background ideas matching Jordan-branded eras
From Digital Plans to Physical Showcases
Members source display hardware directly through Mulebuy’s verified supplier network:
"I used Column D in our sheet to note needed acrylic risers. The AE35 model from the platform’s store fit perfectly with my BAPE collab Jordans,"
Community-Driven Design Improvements
The spreadsheet enables real-time peer feedback via integrated Discord-chat:
- Uploading photos of trial layouts (RGB vs warm white LEDs)
- Crowdsourcing backdrop ideas (retro Bulls motifs vs min–malist neon)
- Troubleshooting space issues (11-shoe rotations in 8-shelf units)
