"You see a lot of sneaker boutiques around but none like this. This will be the new pit stop for sneaker lovers of all kind."

The art of sneaker customizing has been around forever. But more recently there's been a surge in people gaining interest in one of a kind "wearable art". Even athletes are getting in on the fun. As street fashion becomes more mainstream, the sneaker being its staple footwear continues to gain momentum. 

The sneaker industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. And like all industries, its under scrutiny for its sustainability practices. The goal of The Re-Sole is to help add life to footwear and create opportunities for these items to appreciate in value over longer periods of time.
