Having had a peek at early pairs at the last Laces Out! a couple months ahead of deliveries. It was clear that Diadora weren't messing around on the quality. Which is really odd, at the minute, "quality" is tossed about willy nilly, mainly to support Nike, in charging us £135 for a shoe we could pick up 3-5 years ago for £90, or even less. But we really do stand by this statement, the quality of the Trident 90s are off the scales
Lost Art is Liverpool's Mecca for Skate and Street-wear, stocking brands such as Nike SB, Adidas Skateboarding, Quatersnacks and Poler. The store has made a name for itself around the streets of Liverpool and the North West for that matter.
Does anybody who is still wearing sneakers, remember the days of 'classics' sitting on the sales racks, which now go on eBay for a pretty penny?
As far as support goes for independent Street and Skate wear retailers go, Lost Art is up there with the best, with such a loyal support, great staff and cleaver gimmicks on tees. I mean what more can you ask for from your local Skate store.
Thinking back two or three years ago, Sneaker events were almost unheard of, especially in the UK. With the growth of the Sneaker Community in the past two years, events such as Laces Out!, 6ACRE and Crepe City have burst on to the scene, giving collectors and enthusiasts a place to meet up, buy, sell, trade and have a good time with like minded people.
