The new London Sneaker School store on Savile Row will provide sneaker and fashion enthusiasts with a unique retail experience by bridging manufacture, education and retail.

The store will be serve as a flagship destination for;

• Bespoke Sneaker service: Classics such as Jordan 1s and Dunk SBs will be hand-made in premium leathers of the clients choice.
• LSS Core collection: A core collection of handmade classics will be on display and available to order, including:

○ Air Jordan 1 Hi: Chicago Storm Welt

○ Air Jordan 1 Travis Scott Low Shell Mocha

• Online and London shoemaking courses: Educational products, including Build Kits suitable for beginners looking to hand-make their own sneakers, as well as in-person workshops in their factory in Hackney.

Clients will take part in a design consultation with the LSS team before their bespoke custom is hand-crafted in London by experienced cordwainers. Hand painted elements will also be available upon request at the store, using local artists who are part of the CANVVS creator community.

“We are very excited to open our flagship store on Savile Row,” said Jase Cooper, Founder and Creative Director of London Sneaker School. “This strategic location will allow us to combine our culture and community with Savile Row’s rich heritage and association with the finest craftsmanship in the fashion industry, in a true celebration of all aspects of culture that London has to offer. The store will build on our belief that when manufacturing is closer to the culture opportunities for new forms of expression are born for independent creators.”

“CANVVS is committed to inspiring new artists and support existing ones to make custom sneakers more accessible to fans, collectors & customers worldwide. We feel the work of London Sneaker school embodies these values, which is why we are proud to support LSS in creating their first concept store at 20 Savile Row,” said Alex Murray, CEO of CANVVS.

Jenny Casebourne, Head of Portfolio at The Pollen Estate said: “We are excited to welcome a new concept on Savile Row with London Sneaker School opening a pop-up. The store will offer customers a new immersive experience where manufacturing, education and retail are all combined, a perfect complement to our existing occupiers. The store will be offering a bespoke sneaker service while London Sneaker School handmade classics will be on display and available to order. Customers will also have an opportunity to create their own designs with Build Kits through their educational workshops. It will offer a completely new bespoke service while showcasing the modern craft of the sneaker industry.”

The new store will feature an immersive insight into the journey of sneaker design and manufacture.

Customers will have the opportunity to participate in workshops and events led by industry experts, allowing them to learn the art of sneaker design, customisation, and the latest trends in the ever-evolving sneaker industry.
