Think a walk-in wardrobe full of trainers, or ‘sneakers’ and you have an idea of what the Harvey Nichols ‘Sneaker Concept’ looks set to be all about. The huge rise of the trainer trend has been witnessed and noted. Harvey Nichols is launching ‘The Sneaker Concept’, a space that will showcase over 120 styles of the best trainers across the hottest sports and designer brands, including the likes of Y-3, Adidas, Maison Martin Margiela, Rick Owens and Acne.

Jasmin Sanya, Shoe Buyer of Harvey Nichols stated, “On the back of the current sneaker trend, the idea behind our new women’s sneaker concept is to curate a cool, focused edit of desirable sports sneakers layered in with a contemporary fashion offer. This will be the first female sneaker offer in the UK with a fashion rather than sports focus, the Harvey Nichols take on a sneaker concept!”
