About Us
Built on Obsession.
Get in Touch
Built on Obsession.
Refined by Experience.
SouRcE SneakeR Lab started with a simple belief: the shoes you love deserve more than a quick wipe-down and a prayer. Founded in New Orleans, we turned a personal passion for sneaker preservation into a full-service restoration lab — because every scuff, every stain, every separated sole tells a story worth saving.
Our team combines technical knowledge with genuine respect for the craft. Whether it's a vintage pair from the '90s, a limited-drop you've been saving for, or your daily workhorses — we treat every shoe as if it were our own. That's the SouRcE standard.

Across the City
"Brought in a pair of vintage Air Max that had seen better decades. The team brought them back to life — I honestly couldn't tell the difference from the photos online. Absolutely incredible work."
"I was nervous about sending my limited pair for restoration, but the attention to detail here is unmatched. They treated my shoes like they were their own. Fast turnaround too — had them back in two days."
"The protection coating they applied saved my white sneakers during a rainy season. They looked brand new months later. This is now my go-to spot for everything sneaker-related in the city."
