And finally… best foot forward

Any property professionals hanging around Leeds on Saturday and thinking about deformalising their wardrobe could do worse than hitting up streetwear retailer Footasylum, which will open its new 12,000 sq ft store at Trinity Leeds.

Throwing open the doors at 9am, there’s going to be competitions, goody bags, giveaways from The Savvy Baker, plus a guest appearance from YouTuber Danny Aarons.

Leeds favourite The Savvy Baker will hand out free coffee, matcha, brownies and blondies for the first 100 people in the queue, and 200 goody bags will be up for grabs for the first 200 attendees, with random golden ticket prizes included in selected bags for the chance to win special prizes. Visitors can also enjoy live music from a local DJ, and gaming experiences with Danny Aarons.

Located next to Schuh on the lower ground floor, the flagship store will be home to a variety of menswear, womenswear and junior apparel, as well as footwear and accessories from brands including Asics, Converse, Nike, adidas, Monterrain, Forena, and Footasylum’s exclusive labels such as Celebre and Alpyrex.

Shannon Osman, retail director at Footasylum, said: “We’re so excited to celebrate the launch of our flagship store in the vibrant city of Leeds this weekend, with plenty of in-store activations and entertainment for guests. The impressive new store will showcase all our latest products and exclusive drops, set within an immersive and modern retail experience.”
