Orthopedic Sneaker Adjustment: Comfort Meets Craftsmanship
At KoriumLab, we believe style should never come at the cost of comfort. This Umbro sneaker underwent a full orthopedic adjustment—designed to support posture, reduce strain, and enhance long-term wearability without compromising its original silhouette.
We reinforced the midsole with a custom-built elevation profile, balancing heel-to-toe drop for better alignment. The outsole was upgraded with a high-density insert to absorb shock and reduce pressure on the arch and heel. For added stability, we reshaped the platform contour to distribute weight evenly across the footbed—ideal for clients with pronation issues or uneven gait.
This isn’t just a cosmetic lift—it’s a biomechanical tune-up. Whether you're on your feet all day or recovering from lower limb fatigue, our orthopedic adjustments are tailored to your stride. We work with podiatric guidelines and premium materials to ensure every modification supports both movement and muscle memory.
From casual sneakers to performance footwear, KoriumLab’s orthopedic service is where restoration meets rehabilitation. Because every step should feel as good as it looks.
Redye Lady Dior
💼 “The Second Bloom: A Lady Dior Revival”
In the heart of Kuala Lumpur, tucked behind a row of heritage shophouses, a woman stepped into KoriumLab carrying a Lady Dior bag that had once turned heads in Paris. Its signature cannage stitching was still intact, but the color had faded into a tired rust, and the glossy finish had dulled with time. She placed it gently on the counter, saying, “It was my mother’s. I want it to feel alive again.”
The team at KoriumLab didn’t just see a bag—they saw a story waiting to be retold.
🧴 Step 1: Diagnosis & Prep Under studio lights, the bag was examined like a vintage canvas. The leather was healthy but thirsty. The amber handles glowed with potential. A custom cleaning solution was applied to lift years of wear without disturbing the stitching or metal hardware.
🎨 Step 2: Color Mapping & Redye Selection Inspired by the original burgundy but aiming for a deeper, more regal tone, the team mixed a bespoke red dye with hints of plum and mahogany. The goal: a finish that honored its legacy while giving it a bold new voice.
🖌️ Step 3: Layered Application Using precision brushes and airbrush techniques, the dye was applied in stages—each layer cured and sealed to ensure longevity. The cannage pattern was carefully preserved, and the gloss was restored with a satin topcoat that shimmered under light.
✨ Step 4: Reveal & Emotion When the woman returned, she gasped. The Lady Dior looked reborn—elegant, confident, and timeless. She ran her fingers over the leather, smiled, and whispered, “She would’ve loved this.”
This wasn’t just a restoration. It was a tribute. A second bloom for a bag that had lived, loved, and now—thanks to KoriumLab—could shine again.
