Fred Perry hvid piqué-t-shirt med lommedetalje
2002
Our authentic sneaker journey started in our original flagship store in St Annes Court, located in Soho.
Founded by streetwear pioneers Michael Kopelman, Simon Porter and Fraser Cooke in 2002, who envisioned an independent sneaker store with a realm of exclusive possibilities. Feeding into a consortium programme that was top-level and niche, distributing the most exclusive trainers on the market from a limited handful of brands.
