INTRODUCING IMBOX SHOE PROTECTION AT NRML
Protect your kicks. Keep them looking fresh.
There's nothing like stepping out in a fresh pair of sneakers. Whether it's your latest Jordan pickup, everyday runners, or favourite pair in your rotation, keeping your footwear looking its best is just as important as finding the right pair.
NRML is now offering IMBOX Shoe Protection, a professional footwear treatment designed to help protect your shoes against water, dirt, stains and everyday wear. Available both in-store and online, IMBOX makes it easier to give your sneakers an extra layer of protection before you take them out.
WHAT IS IMBOX?
Developed in Denmark, IMBOX is an innovative footwear protection system that applies an invisible protective layer to your shoes in under 60 seconds.
Using a specialized treatment chamber, IMBOX evenly coats your footwear with a protective solution that helps repel water, dirt and stains while maintaining the original appearance and breathability of your shoes.
The treatment also helps protect against colour fading caused by UV exposure, making it a practical addition to your sneaker rotation throughout the year.
WHY PROTECT YOUR FOOTWEAR WITH IMBOX?
-
Water resistance: Helps repel rain, splashes and moisture.
-
Stain protection: Creates a barrier against everyday dirt, spills and stains.
-
Easier cleaning: Helps prevent dirt from settling into footwear materials, making maintenance easier.
-
UV protection: Helps reduce colour fading caused by exposure to sunlight.
-
Quick application: Professional treatment takes less than a minute, with shoes ready to wear immediately afterward.
-
Long-lasting protection: Provides protection for up to six weeks, depending on wear and conditions.
From leather sneakers to mesh runners and winter-ready footwear, IMBOX works on a wide range of footwear materials.
