Comments (0) Best Shoe Shine - 2005

YAKOV

The size of a walk-in closet, YAKOV has a wall cluttered with an assortment of timeworn doodads seemingly for sale.

Five minutes later, the shoes you'd marked for death look like they're just out of the box. You notice you're smiling in their reflection. A mere $3 buys those ratty kicks another month.
