This IG Store In SG Customises Authentic Branded Sneakers To Make Them Extra Swaggy
Sneakers are in trend right now, with many ladies ditching uncomfortable high heels for them even when wearing skirts and dresses. We’ve seen our fair share of pink sneakers and pastel picks, as well as character-themed collaborations with Hello Kitty and Sailor Moon - but perhaps none are quite as unique as customised ones made specially for you.
Singapore-based Instagram store, The A Label, customises branded sneakers with things like ribbons, textured panels, butterfly appliques and more to make them extra swaggy and give you more spring in your step.
Psst...The A Label’s shoes have also been spotted on Cherylene Chan, the young influencer that Night Owl Cinematics’ Ryan Tan has been rumoured to be dating.

The first thing you’re wondering about is probably the authenticity of The A Label’s sneakers. Well, rest assured that all pieces are 100% authentic and purchased from reputable brands and their official stores like Nike, JD Sports, Foot Locker and the like. An e-receipt or physical receipt can be produced upon request, so you have nothing to worry about.

They mainly work with Nike Air Force 1 shoes (from $169 depending on design), but also have their own chunky AA Sneakers ($62.80) which come with a thick 6cm boost and reflective custom initials (pictured below).

Designs for their Nike AF1 sneakers range from drippy paint to satin ribbon panels and lace appliques, among many others.

They’ve even done a custom order that incorporated a bandana into the design.

Everything is painstakingly and lovingly customised by hand, so you can expect a waiting time of 2 to 4 weeks. Rushed orders can be made with a surcharge of $10.

For hygiene purposes, do note that your own existing Nike Air Force 1 shoes will not be accepted unless they are brand new and unworn.

If you don’t fancy the existing designs or want your own spin on things, you can DM them on Instagram for unique personalisation if you have any ideas that you’d like to see come to life.
