I went to London some time ago and visited some hyped sneaker shops there. There are so many sneaker shops in London that I didn’t even get the chance to visit all of them, but at least I got a glance of a few of them.
Let’s start off with Footpatrol, which is located at 80 Berwick Street, London.
The shop was very aesthetically pleasing! I wish I had a sneaker closet at home that looked like this. The selection wasn’t very big, but they definitely had some cool sneakers that you don’t find at every shop. Here are some of my faves that I found there:
Adidas x Reebok InstaPump Fury Boost
Li Ning Furious Rider Ace 1.5
Nike Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘Fearless’
Look what I found! Karhu in London! It made me very happy to see that you could find the Finnish pride in a fashion capital like London. They were even discounted to £45, which is not much for Karhu, I hope the shoes have found a lucky owner.
Next I went to Presented By, which turned out to be heaven. The store is located at 15 Percy Street, London.
Looks pretty fancy already outside of the store, right? Once you walk in and the door is opened by a security guard, that’s when you can tell that you’ve just stepped into a slightly more expensive and exclusive store.
This is how it looks like once you walk in. The board at the top is displaying the current selling rates of the most exclusive and wanted sneakers. All of the prices had at least four digits…
These were very interesting to me. I was wondering if “Flea” is a reference to Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers? After I did some research I found out it wasn’t, but this is anyway such a cool design.
Playstation x Nike Air Force 1, how cool are these?!
They even have a claw machine where you could win a pair of sneakers.
I found a few of my dream sneakers that have been on my ‘to buy’ list for a while, but when I asked for their price and the shop assistant said that they were around £800-£500 my jaw dropped. Both of them have been around £200 when they first were released, but now they’ve gone significantly up in their retail price as they’re very wanted and quite rare to find. So I left the shop empty handed as the poor student that I am, but I will definitely be back some day when I have some more money.
I hope you enjoyed today’s post, until next time!
