Trainers and sneakers have something of a cult following, and a number of businesses have sprung up to cater for the needs of enthusiasts who will often pay a fortune for their favourite pair. Jason Markk who retail a range of cleaning products have set up the world’s first drop off and pick up sneaker cleaning service in their Los Angeles store.
This probably isn’t a business that could survive without the retail side, but I wonder whether this could be a success in, say, Central London. I had a quick look and couldn’t find any trainer cleaning services, or indeed any significant business specialising in cleaning products for this ubiquitous footwear.
