2. Your Sneakers Need The Ultimate Storage Solution

We know how easy it is to leave your sneakers in an unkept pile, unknowingly exposed to the sun and other pollutants, and in fact, this is doing more harm than good to your sneakers. Exposure to slightly warmer temperatures can cause your kicks to discolor and crack, thus reducing their lifespan. 

Also, the lack of upkeep and organization of your sneakers, especially when piled on top of each other, can cause damage to the delicate materials on your sneakers' uppers. So, for the sake of your investments and room space, weve got you covered. 

Our Crep Protect Crate range (2.0/3.0) is the only way to keep your collection neatly stored in style. Our Crate range ensures that your sneakers are protected against dust and UV light, as well as aiding sanitation. Plus, if youre looking for something more swanky, the 3.0 version includes soundactivated lights with one plugin connection powering up to 10 crates.

4. Use Protector Spray To Keep Your Sneakers Looking Fresh
