CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - Melissa Carnegie, founder and CEO of Kicks & Fros, joins QC Life to talk about National Sneaker Day. Founded in Charlotte in 2017, Kicks & Fros is a sneaker community and lifestyle brand created to give women and girls a space to connect through sneakers, creativity and community — with motto “Sisterhood. Community. Sneakers.” What started as a love for sneakers has grown into events, workshops, brand partnerships, pop-ups and mobile experiences where people can customize, clean, style, shop and celebrate sneakers.
She also shares sneaker-cleaning tips: everyday favorites take a beating, but you don’t have to retire a pair just because it looks dirty. Regular cleaning can keep sneakers fresh and extend their life, with extra care for materials like suede, leather and mesh.
