Trainer or sneaker customisation has become a big thing over the last five years. TikTok and Instagram have helped drive the trend, with people now starting to set up side businesses online or a few have even made it their day to day job.
One such person is 27-year-old Bristol-born Ronnie Arathoon, who set up his sneaker customisation and cleaning business back in April 2020. After being a self-confessed 'sneaker-head’ for years and having found there was a gap in the market in Bristol, Ronnie set up his business Sneek Geek at the north end of Gloucester Road.
“For me it’s not like a job, I've probably had one bad day in the last four years. Like, every time I go to work, I'm happy. I wake up every morning, and I just love it. I really love it. And honestly, I'm gonna do this probably for the rest of my life.”
