Why this project?

My name is Jonathan, I’m passionate about sports, a dedicated father, and a member of the ASICS FrontRunner community. After running hundreds of kilometers, I realized one thing: we take care of our shoes when we buy them, but much less when it comes to keeping them clean.

Whether it’s running shoes or everyday sneakers, maintenance is often neglected. And the products available? Too chemical, poorly designed, often single-use, rarely sustainable.

I was faced with the following issues:

Sports shoes and sneakers wear out quickly if they’re not maintained.

Current cleaners are harsh, packaged in plastic, and poorly suited for regular use.

Result: waste, overconsumption, and avoidable ecological impact.

As an athlete and a father, I wanted a simple, responsible, beautiful, and effective solution. It took me more than a year to develop the formula and bring this idea to life.

That’s how RUN&SHINE was born: a new way to care for your shoes sustainably and responsibly.

The RUN&SHINE solution

Why is RUN&SHINE unique? 🌱 Natural, vegan, and biodegradable formula (plant-based surfactants from coconut and corn, mint hydrosol for freshness) 🥇 Tested by runners and sneakerheads: effective even on mud and tough stains ♻️ Reusable glass packaging and FSC-certified brushes ✨ A solution that combines performance and sustainability, unlike homemade mixes or competitor kits that are often chemical-based

👉 Subtle comparison with other solutions:

Homemade spray = not very effective and impractical

Competitor products = often chemical-based, plastic, and non-biodegradable

RUN&SHINE = effective, ethical, and sustainable

RUN&SHINE is more than just a product: it’s a new habit. Whether you’re a runner, a sneaker fan, a casual sneaker wearer, or simply someone active in daily life who also cares about the planet – you deserve shoe care worthy of your lifestyle.

With RUN&SHINE you can:

Give your shoes a second life after each run or urban outing. Extend their lifespan and reduce your impact on the planet. Adopt a simple, responsible gesture, without compromising on effectiveness. Save time, thanks to a fast, natural, ready-to-use solution. And most importantly: feel aligned with your values by choosing a clean, beautiful, and sustainable alternative.

RUN&SHINE turns a simple cleaning routine into a motivating ritual – to take care of what keeps you moving forward, day after day.
