Surely you have wondered where they clean tennis shoes in CDMX? So you don't suffer anymore, check this top.
Keeping your tennis shoes (or sneakers as we call them now) immaculate is as important a matter of status as a good shave or a haircut on point.
Above all it is a question of cleanliness, that is clear, but it also has to do with one's own projection towards the outside: it is a way of standing before the world, of showing who we are.
And we're not saying this: in the following clip from Do the Right Thing (1989), hip hop filmmaker Spike Lee makes it very clear:
Tennis shoes have gone from being an object of use that is discarded over time, to becoming authentic collector's items that, obviously, must be worn and maintained in the best possible condition.
Some, like the collector and founder of the Sneaker Fever event, Mike Gónzalez, are a little more committed to what they wear on their feet: “sometimes I don't wear my pairs so they always stay impeccable; (but) the ones I use I like to keep clean so they can represent why I bought them,” he says.
Although Mike's measure, although extreme, is effective, giving your pairs proper maintenance is an investment that will also help you extend the useful life of those "papos" that you like to wear and show off so much. So, without further ado, here we tell you some places that are dedicated precisely to pampering your sneakers.
