Within Toronto's Stackt Market, which is made entirely of shipping containers, Mack House is a unique place for sneakerheads to visit and customize their very own pair of shoes. The self-serve sneaker customization studio accommodates up to six customers at once and provides access to two hours within the space, its tools and supplies.
People of all ages with a passion for footwear are invited to "BYOK" (Bring Your Own Kicks), ideally a pair of all-white, brand-new leather sneakers with minimal markings. With an appointment and a pair of sneakers, people will be able to explore customization options through color, texture, print, accessories and finishes with the assistance of a Mack Tech. Mack House's Mack Techs are useful for providing an overview of the available resources but people are free to spend as much time as they'd like at each station.
