About Revive Kicks

I’m Daisuke Shimada, the founder of Revive Kicks. My journey into sneaker care started in high school, not as a business but as a way to afford the shoes I loved. I would clean and restore my own pairs, and soon, word spread—friends, classmates, and local sneakerheads started coming to me to bring their shoes back to life. What began as a personal passion quickly turned into something bigger.

As demand grew, so did my expertise. I spent years perfecting my techniques, expanding my services, and building a reputation for quality and attention to detail. What started as a small side hustle turned into Revive Kicks, a premier sneaker care brand trusted by clients ranging from everyday collectors to professional athletes, influencers, and celebrities. Today, we’ve had the privilege of working with some of the biggest brands, including the NBA, and providing high-level sneaker restoration for those who expect nothing but the best.

But Revive Kicks is about more than just cleaning shoes—it’s about setting a new standard in sneaker care. That’s why we developed our signature products, designed to enhance our own services and provide the best tools and solutions for others passionate about sneaker restoration. Whether you're an enthusiast, reseller, or professional cleaner, our products are built to help you achieve professional results at home or in your own business.

From humble beginnings to an industry leader, Revive Kicks was built on passion, precision, and a relentless commitment to excellence. Whether you’re trusting us with your favorite pair or looking for the best tools to do it yourself, we’re here to help you keep your kicks fresh and revived.
