In the words of Steve Prefontaine ‘To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.’
TS is still run by the guys who started it and they still are avid sneaker collectors. This obsession started somewhere around the early nineties and steadily built. The American cultural invasion of the early 1980’s originally sparked their love of Nike trainers as kids, they had a mystique that other brands just didn’t posses, something new and unobtainable. Since forming Trainerspotter in 2002 they have endeavored to build a comprehensive Nike collection comprising not only of shoe styles but adverts, posters, apparel and general Nike ephemera. Obviously this is an ongoing commitment and the pieces shown blow are the tip of the collection. Over the years they have made many good friends in the USA, France and Japan with greater collections than our own, individuals with a passion for the sport as much as the sneaker. True collectors are driven not by trends, fashion, reissues or collaborations but by an in depth appreciation of the aesthetic and the history of a particular shoe.
