Trinity Leeds is set to welcome a major new retail powerhouse tomorrow (June 20) as Footasylum officially flings open the doors to its brand-new permanent flagship store.
Taking over the massive lower-ground-floor unit previously occupied by Superdry (directly opposite Mango), the sprawling 12,471 sq. ft. destination marks a massive upgrade from the brand's recent pop-up space. The launch has also created 19 new retail jobs for the city.
To celebrate the highly anticipated opening, the first 200 customers through the doors on Saturday morning will bag an exclusive Footasylum goody bag.
Alongside premium streetwear swag, the bags contain mystery tickets with a chance to win high-tier prizes - including a PlayStation 5 gaming bundle, a year’s gym membership, Deliveroo vouchers, and a coveted year’s supply of trainers.
The launch day will also feature live in-store sets from Leeds-based DJs and a special appearance by YouTube star Danny Aarons (from Footasylum's hit series ‘LockedIn’), who will be taking on shoppers in live games of FIFA throughout the day.
Get a full look at the brand-new industrial-styled layout, the premium sneaker walls, and the exclusive streetwear zones before the crowds arrive.
