Our Story

The story of Sole Savaz began in August 2019 with a simple mission: to bring the vibrant urban energy of London, Atlanta, and Los Angeles to the streets of Lausanne. What started as a dedicated sneaker cleaning and restoration service quickly evolved into a full-scale creative studio.

The Fusion of Sport & Art Our foundation is built on two distinct worlds coming together. One founder brings the discipline and drive of a professional athletic background, ensuring that every restoration meets the highest standards of performance and durability. A month after our journey began, Tyson joined the team, bringing his lifelong passion for art and his professional experience as an animation designer for major U.S. video game companies.

By fusing the precision of sports with the imagination of digital design, we transformed Sole Savaz from a cleaning service into a center for sneaker customization.

Six Years of Second Lives For the past six years, we have been more than just a shop in Lausanne; we’ve been a revival clinic for footwear. We believe that every pair of sneakers deserves a second life. Whether we are meticulously refreshing a pair to look brand new or using them as a canvas for a one-of-a-kind custom design, our goal is to express the urban fashion culture we grew up in.

At Sole Savaz, we don’t just clean shoes—we save them. We invite you to drop by our store and see how we can transform your rotation.
