Revenant Kicks

The market and competition are flooded with near-identical, plastic-heavy packaging - cheap in feel and built without sneakerheads in mind, just generic shit.
Unboxing is clumsy, protection is weak, and great unboxing feel is non-existent.
We needed a solution that’s tougher, cooler, and sustainable.

oportunity & PROCESS

We ran a few workshops with the brand founder and started from scratch – what the business model is, how the sets will work, how we can work with the refill system, how we create packaging both for retail and e-commerce, how we optimise for online shipments but also for a great unboxing story on social media.
We asked questions, chose between glass, plastic, or metal containers, tested caps, different sets, supplier options, sizes, and designed with logistics in mind.

SOLUTION

We built a packaging system that’s low-cost, low-waste, and adaptable to different bottles, cap types and kit sizes – all without sacrificing style or function.
The final structure is sharp and simple: made from unlaminated recyclable cardboard with just one glue line, it ships flat to save space and emissions.
Inside, a universal die-cut system locks all items in place – no foam, no extra parts, just precision fit.
And it’s tough tested for e-commerce shipping with no rattling, no breakage, no mess.

Naked recyclable materials: Fully recyclable materials throughout, without any bullshit.
Reusable parts: metal, plastic caps. Throwaway parts: cardboard — no plastic lamination, only one glue line.
Flat-Pack Shipping: Before putting the product inside, all cardboard boxes are stacked flat - saving space in logistics and warehouse, cutting logistics volume — meaning less emissions.
Refillable Bottles: Metal containers are tough, sleek, and built to be reused. You can bring your bottle straight to the place where you bought Revenant Kicks products, or if you want to use e-commerce - you’ll get a small, low-emission plastic pack and refill it yourself (yeah, we know - plastic - but for e-commerce, this is the best option).

fINANCIAL BENEFIT

Simple and available materials. Yeah, simple as that. Max effect with everyday materials and manufacturing methods.
Space-Efficient Logistics: Flat-pack design slashes warehousing and transit costs.
Just two sets: That means fewer dies, less tooling, and lower production costs.
Long-Term Customer Value: Durable, reusable bottles encourage refills and brand loyalty.
