If you’re reading this, you’re probably into sneakers, and you’re certainly not alone. With a burgeoning sneaker market growing in the region and around the world, a lot of money is being spent on shoes but not enough on maintaining them.
Enter Holystic, Singapore’s first sneaker laundry which provides professional cleaning services for sneakers.
All you need to do is walk-in with your shoes and their sneaker technicians will do the rest, from sorting out a yellowing Boost midsole or stubborn stains on your laces. Besides cleaning services, Holystic also provides sneaker restoration and customisation services.
Prices are reasonable given the hundreds of dollars one normally spends on a pair of kicks. A basic dry cleaning service on the exterior will cost $15, while a deep clean will set you back between $20-$25.
The turnaround for each clean is usually about three to four days, although you can get them back on the same day for an extra $20 charge.
The team at Holystic uses a mix of Jason Markk, Crep Protect, Angelus and Reshoevn8r products to give your shoes that out-of-box feel again.
Holystic will open at Wheelock Place on March 18. Opening hours are 11am to 9pm daily.
