HD Sneaker Cleaning — more than a shoe shopwhere shoes are reborn

HD Sneaker Cleaning was born in Thao Dien with a simple belief: every pair of shoes and every bag deserves devoted, like-new care.

HD = Huy + Derek

HD Sneaker Cleaning was founded in 2020 in Ho Chi Minh City by Le Huy (Vietnam) and Derek Grundy (USA). H stands for Huy, D stands for Derek — a Vietnamese–American friendship built on diversity, inclusion and a shared passion for footwear.

Both love the craft, know footwear inside out, and want to give back to the community in Vietnam — delivering devoted, world-class shoe care.

Our journey

From a few sneakers to a premium shoe spa

In the heart of Thao Dien — Saigon's international neighborhood — HD chose the path of meticulous handcraft over rushed work. Every pair is sorted, inspected, photographed and confirmed with the customer before any treatment.

To date, HD has cared for 6+ years in business for 9,000+ customers — both locals and the expat community. Our services have grown from cleaning to repair, re-soling, color restoration, protection and premium bag spa.
