The concept of SoleHeaven.com was conceived on the streets of New York City. We discovered that the choice of sneakers available in the U.S. is absolutely mouth watering compared to that in the U.K. This was our motivation, and it was decided it was time for a change! Our aim is to give the British public footwear to be proud of!

We at SoleHeaven.com are just like you. We wanna dress well, we wanna wear cool trainers and we don’t want to look the same as everyone else. Simple things make us happy and that’s hangin out with friends, good music & decent sneakers!

This site was designed with you in mind. Primarily offering good, limited edition trainers, but also somewhere cool to shop and fun to visit.
Somewhere interesting and informative, somewhere for the UK sneaker community to come & join in the fun.

We will be providing you with video podcasts to promote & discuss new designs and vintage classics. There will be news & reviews, tips on buying deadstocks, history of brands, and sneaker design

and thats just for starters…

We will also be introducing you to several of the top customizers in the U.K. These very artistic & talented individuals will be showcasing their work and answering a few questions about what’s hot in the world of Custom Kicks!

Not only does SoleHeaven look slick, it also takes advantage of modern website technology. They produce creative & quirky video podcasts to provide information, and promote the history & design of sneakers.

Desirable Classics - This is all about user generated content! Each & every user can say what they like or dislike about certain sneakers. Everyone gets to leave comments & have their say! These are really great features of the site. These modern elements enable SoleHeaven to provide a unique service, and the ability to connect with their users & customers.

Sneakart is a new company, created by ex adidas and Puma designers, that has created a totally new, non permanent method of sneaker customization.

The concept is basically stickers for sneakers that are made from ‘sneakskin’, a specially developed, super thin, sticky, graphic film that’s waterproof, durable and flexible. The film is clear so can be applied to any light coloured, white or metallic shoe. We’re offering pre-cut stickers that are super easy to apply and pattern sheets where, with a little bit more skill and care, you can apply a graphic to a whole panel and create amazing custom effects in minutes.

The application is not permanent but can last several months and then peeled off like a normal sticker. Sneakskin flexes and moves with the shoe and looks like it’s part of the leather. We have a library of hundreds of our own designs and we’ll also print out uploaded designs. People can allow us to sell these if they choose and make a royalty from each sale their designs make. We will also showcase collaborations and will highlight featured artists - uploaded artwork that we really love and want to promote.

The main idea behind this concept is that it’s a quick, fun and inexpensive way to customize shoes that you will wear everyday, rather than shoes you might keep for display. You can refresh your design whenever you feel like it and you can easily experiment with different looks without destroying a shoe.
