Kicks looking too boring or too worn out? How about washing them at a sneaker laundry and spiffing them up with customised art?

Let's Sneak Around

To all the kids with the pumped-up kicks: There is nothing like slipping on a pair of fresh, pristine sneakers. Until it rains the first time you’re wearing them out, or some blur person accidentally steps on your shoe (ugh). Or, even if you have successfully avoided those sneaker disasters, your prized Adidas NMDs start showing signs of wear and tear. Before you toss your kicks in their shoebox coffin and hold a fashion funeral, know that there are sneaker cleaning services out there dedicated to saving your sneakers from an early death. We tried out the services at the six-month-old Holystic Sneaker Laundry at Wheelock Place, which offers sneaker cleaning and restoration to its former glory, as well as customisation (like handpainted designs). For those who are too busy to make it down to their kiosk on Orchard Road (it’s right beside Marks & Spencer’s M&S Cafe) or their latest Cluny Court outlet which opened earlier this month, they offer a two-way pickup and dropoff service at a location of your choice for $15. An new outlet is opening next month at Liang Court.
