Shoppers in Liverpool are showing their dedication to sneaker culture by queuing outside JD Sports in Liverpool One a staggering 15 hours before the launch of the new Nike Mandarin trainers. This highly anticipated release, which occurs tomorrow, celebrates “30 years of the iconic silhouette,” harking back to the original 1987 Air Max model that laid the foundation for the beloved Air Max lineage.
As true sneaker enthusiasts know, the new Air Max 95s, affectionately referred to as “110s” by locals, come with a price tag of £174.99. Despite the rainy weather, eager fans have set up camp outside the store, bringing fold-up chairs and tents to ensure they secure their pair as soon as the doors open at 9 am tomorrow.
This scene highlights the strong connection Liverpool has with sneaker culture and reflects the community’s passion for footwear that has stood the test of time.
For those who are also excited, there’s an invitation to share their queue experience by sending photos to a local news email.
In an era where fashion and footwear often intersect with personal expression, this event exemplifies how brands continue to resonate with dedicated fans, fostering a sense of community and anticipation around sneaker launches.
