It’s the moment sneaker fans across London have been waiting for. After years of being in the dark Foot Patrol has finally made a come back at its home on Berwick street. The Cut went down to the opening speak to Alex & Sheebs (staff at Foot Patrol), takes some pics, as well as, do some needed shopping.
The first thing you notice when you walk into Foot Patrol is its distinctive appearance. Alex’s talks us through how the shop looks.
“Its something different, you don’t normally get a shed inside a shop, never seen that before. Quite a small space, nice place to chill out. Nice little seating area at the front.”
Now to the important part, what are the kicks in stock actually saying? What can we expect to see in Foot Patrol? Sheebs shares a few surprises she didn’t expect to see in the shop. “I think its great stuff, a lot of stuff some people would not have seen. Its good for collectors that missed out of stuff. There’s stuff I ain’t seen as well- like the Hawaii’s“.
In case you don’t know why there is such a fuss about Foot Patrol re-opening, Alex AKA “The King of Hype” gives us a little insight into what Foot Patrol means to sneaker heads. “A lot of shops have gone missing.. this one has now come back alive. Another place for sneaker fans to go shopping. Lots of hype stuff (laughs).” There- you have it, there will be lots of “Hype” kicks.
Since we have reached the end of our time in Foot Patrol, we decided, we needed a women’s words to end this article and explain what Foot Patrol will bring in the future. Take it away Sheebs!
“ Foot Patrol can stand the test of time, this is the beginning, loads more collaborations to come. Everybody is watching us, so we going to be on point!”
