Whether it was your first pair or a special gift, sneaker memories can last a lifetime. Unfortunately, most sneakers themselves don’t have the same longevity. Even if you care for them and clean them after every wear, time will eventually turn your favorite kicks into memories and dust. That is unless you use CapSole to store and preserve your sacred pairs.
CapSole was founded by lifelong sneakerhead Darren Lee because he didn’t want to have to say goodbye to his grail pairs. Sure, many shoes retro if you wait long enough. But any sneakerhead will tell you why that particular pair in their collection just means more. So, how does CapSole work? Continue reading to learn how. You can hear from Darren himself on the SoleSavy Podcast.
Who designed the CapSole pod system?
Mansour Abdulbaki, is a chemical engineer with a Ph.D in Polymers & Nanocomposites (sneaker materials). He designed the patent-pending preservation system and selected the preservative.
What if I want to wear and preserve my sneakers?
Wearing and preserving is exactly what CapSole recommends! They suggest a Wear, Preserve, Store approach. Wearing your shoes helps, but it doesn’t stop yellowing & aging due to exposure to air (oxidation & hydrolysis). Preserve when you’re not wearing. CapSole provides an airtight seal & replaces the air inside with a preservative to help prevent aging & yellowing. Store in your shoe box or wherever you prefer until it’s time to wear your shoes again. Our pods are reusable & easy to use.
How was CapSole tested?
The CapSole team conducted over 400 hours of accelerated age testing on Air Force 1s, which equates to years of actual wear. The conditions used during testing include extreme exposure to oxygen, moisture, light, and heat.
Results
Test results showed yellowing and aging were prevented by 2X when using CapSole, doubling the sneaker’s lifespan.
