KershKicks, the North of England’s go-to sneaker store, have announced that they’ll be opening up a new location in Glasgow this summer.
Founded by brothers Sam and Ben Kersh, KershKick’s Manchester store has steadily been making waves in 0161 since opening in summer 2019. Having built up a solid base of loyal customers and built strong local foundatons, the store has gone from strength to strength, with a slew of Premier League ballers and UK rappers pulling up to cop rare and exclusive sneakers.
Since opening its doors two years ago, KershKicks have provided a much-needed buy-sell-trade store, complete with limited-edition product and deadstock grails to the North of England. And following the success of their Manchester store since opening, a second location for KershKicks was only a matter of time — and the next chapter will kick off in Scotland this summer.
Having frequently visited Glasgow, Sam and Ben felt the city was perfect for launching the next chapter of the Kersh story. “We’ve developed a large Instagram following over the years and we have many loyal customers and followers from Scotland,” they told Complex. “When we asked our followers to comment what location they’d like to see us in next, a large proportion said Glasgow. The store has been a hotspot for many famous faces, from footballers to musicians, and we are excited to bring that culture to Glasgow in our unique KershKicks way.”
They added: “When we opened in Manchester, we believed the city was crying out for a buy-sell-trade store and we have successfully filled that void. We feel there are many similarities between Glasgow and Manchester, in that sense, and that our business model will have great potential there.”
