The HD Story · Since 2020

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

HD Sneaker Cleaning was born in Thảo Điền 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 is for Huy, D is 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 Thảo Điền — 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 over 100,000 pairs for 8,500+ customers — both locals and the expat community. Our services have grown from cleaning to repair, re-soling, color restoration, protection and premium bag spa.
