A trainer collector makes worn-out sneakers look brand new in oddly satisfying cleaning videos. Ronnie Arathoon, from Bristol, opened trainer shop Sneek Geek in 2019 and customises shoes for celebrities like Chris Brown and Tion Wayne.
The 27-year-old also offers cleaning services - taking battered and broken-looking sneakers, and cleaning, painting, polishing and repairing them until they look brand new. People send him shoes from all around the world - which often look fit for the bin - and he spends hours making them look box-fresh.
Ronnie started his business after struggling to find someone to clean his own trainers from his 100-strong collection. And now he charges up to £60 to clean fellow fans' kicks at his shop in Bristol and up to £1,000 to customise them.
