Our Story

2019

LAYOVER began as a sportstyle footwear store built around brands we truly believed in.

LAYOVER started with a focus on sportstyle footwear and a strong interest in brands that balance design, comfort, and everyday wearability.

Over the years, we introduced labels such as New Balance, ASICS, KEEN, Mizuno, and many others that became part of our journey.

2022

We realized most of our community had always been women.

As our community grew, nearly 70% of our customers were women, while the rest came from a broader unisex audience.

It made us see that many people were looking for a more thoughtful and welcoming shopping experience.

2024

A visit to Copenhagen inspired a new direction.

During a trip to Copenhagen, we discovered a multi-brand sneaker store created for women.

That experience stayed with us and became the inspiration to build something clearer, more personal, and more complete.

2026

LAY was created as the next step of our story.

LAY brings together footwear, womenswear, unisex apparel, and accessories from brands we genuinely love.

Built from years of experience and shaped by new ideas, LAY is our new concept store based in Bangkok.

About LAY

LAY started from LAYOVER, our sportstyle footwear store that we have run for the past seven years. Over that time, we worked with brands we truly liked and believed in, such as New Balance, ASICS, KEEN, Mizuno, and many others.

Throughout the years, we were grateful to receive great support from our customers. One thing that surprised us was that around 70% of our customers were women, while the other 30% were unisex customers. It made us realize that many people were looking for a store that offered more than just sneakers.

About two years ago, we visited Copenhagen and found a multi-brand sneaker store created especially for women. That experience gave us a lot of inspiration. We felt that this was very close to the kind of community we already had.

That was the beginning of LAY.

The name LAY means to place things together in a thoughtful way. For us, it represents how clothing, footwear, and accessories can be mixed together to create personal style in a simple and natural way.

Footwear is still an important part of who we are, but Copenhagen also opened our eyes to contemporary womenswear and a different way of styling. That inspired us to bring in womenswear, unisex clothing, accessories, and more alongside sneakers.

LAY is not only about brands from Copenhagen. We also select brands from many places based on what we genuinely like and want to share.

LAY is our next step — built from our past experience, shaped by our taste today, and growing into something new.

Thank you for supporting us. More brands and new launches are coming soon.
