Footwear Laundry, a Johannesburg-based sneaker-care business, is expanding its product reach through a new partnership with Rosebank Mall’s Soko District. The partnership makes Footwear Laundry’s specialised sneaker-cleaning products available to customers shopping at the mall, providing greater convenience and access to products designed to care for different types of footwear.
Founded in 2021, Footwear Laundry has built its business around sneaker cleaning, footwear care and helping customers maintain their shoes. The move into Soko District represents another step in making its products accessible beyond its Maboneng location.
Specialised foam cleaners for different sneaker materials
A key part of Footwear Laundry’s product offering is its range of foam cleaners, developed to address different sneaker-cleaning needs.
The range includes:
1. Heavy-duty foam cleaner
This foam cleaner is intended for sneakers with stubborn dirt and tough stains. It helps lift built-up dirt and grime, making it suitable for footwear that needs more intensive cleaning. It is particularly useful for customers looking to restore the appearance of frequently worn sneakers.
2. Suede and delicate-material foam cleaner
Footwear Laundry also offers a specialised foam cleaner designed for materials such as suede that require a gentler cleaning approach. Unlike ordinary cleaning methods that may be too harsh for delicate materials, this product is intended to clean while helping preserve the material’s texture and appearance when used as directed.
Having different cleaning solutions allows customers to select products according to the material and cleaning requirements of their sneakers.
Bringing sneaker care closer to customers
The availability of Footwear Laundry products at Rosebank Mall’s Soko District creates an additional point of access for customers who may not always be able to visit the Maboneng store.
Customers can now explore the foam-cleaning range while shopping at Rosebank Mall, making it easier to access specialised sneaker-care products.
The partnership also reflects Footwear Laundry’s ambition to grow beyond its traditional cleaning services and establish itself as a broader footwear-care brand.
More than just sneaker cleaning
Footwear Laundry continues to focus on providing solutions that make sneaker maintenance easier and more accessible. From professional sneaker-cleaning services to products that customers can use themselves, the business aims to encourage better footwear-care habits.
With its products now available through Soko District at Rosebank Mall, Footwear Laundry is taking another step towards reaching a wider customer base and growing its presence in Johannesburg’s footwear and lifestyle market.

Myth: It’s not really advertising, but it’s basically the same as marketing. Fact: Advertising, marketing, and PR often work together, but they’re all distinct fields! In the age of social media and content creation, the line between PR and marketing has been blurred – but it still exists. PR is definitely a piece of the marketing puzzle for most businesses, and confusion can sometimes arise when press releases appear alongside marketing campaigns or ads on Twitter and Facebook. The real difference is that marketing focuses on promoting a company’s products and services, with a more direct line to driving sales and revenue. PR’s impact, on the other hand, is less directly quantifiable; it primarily focuses on building a company’s profile and reputation. While they do work in conjunction with one another, it’s important to take into consideration the goals, strategies, and tactics that distinguish the two.
