Fix My Sole Vintage
The Archive
One of one FAMU, HBCU, and Black history and culture pieces, hand-sourced by Elijah. Every piece here has lived on the studio wall as reference and inspiration for new designs.
Where the designs start
Before a new Fix My Sole piece hits the drawing board, it starts here. Old tees, jackets, pennants, and prints from the schools and moments that shaped our culture. I study the type, the color, the wear, and the story. Then I build something new from it.Elijah Rutland, Founder
