Sneaker LAB, the South Africa-based brand known for its eco-friendly sneaker care products, has partnered with cricket legend AB de Villiers as its new brand ambassador. The collaboration marks the launch of a major campaign in India, introducing Sneaker LAB’s science-backed, sustainability-driven approach to sneaker maintenance.
Built on a unique probacterial formula, Sneaker LAB’s products use beneficial bacteria to clean sneakers and neutralize odours long after use – offering a biotechnology-powered, eco-conscious solution for modern sneaker enthusiasts.
De Villiers, who enjoys a strong fanbase in India, shared his excitement:
“Sneaker LAB’s mission really spoke to me – they’re combining innovation, sustainability, and style in a way that’s refreshing and purposeful. I’m proud to represent a brand that’s making a difference in a country I hold close to my heart.”
Sneaker LAB founder Jo Farah emphasized the campaign’s cultural relevance:
“India’s growing sneaker culture and love for cricket make this the perfect time and place for our launch. With AB de Villiers on board, we’re excited to inspire a new wave of conscious sneaker care.”
To build excitement, the brand has also launched “The Golden Wipe – A Ticket to Meet AB”, a three-month long contest running from 16 May to October. Five Sneaker LAB Wipes packs across India will contain Golden Wipes with winning codes. Lucky winners will receive the ultimate prize: a meet and greet with AB de Villiers and a curated experience celebrating sport and style.
This campaign brings together the worlds of cricket, sustainability, and fashion—delivering a memorable blend of purpose and personality.
