Footasylum's KICK’n with LIPA students - Saturday 17th October

Footasylum will be showcasing young, talented musicians from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA) as it opens it new store on Bold Street, Liverpool, this Saturday.

‘KICK’n with LIPA’ will feature upcoming bands and solo artists at Footasylum’s new store in Bold Street, to give shoppers a flavour of some of the latest sounds coming out of the college, whose former students include The Wombats and Sandi Thom.

Eddie Lundon, of China Crisis and a music lecturer at LIPA, which was co-founded by Sir Paul McCartney, said:

KICK’n is a great opportunity for the students to perform in a slightly different environment to what they’re used to and we’re delighted to be taking part. Most of these artists play gigs across the city and one of the bands on show, Untouched, has already won a national songwriting award.

These are the stars of the future and this showcase features a variety of different musical styles.
Matt Lowery, from Footasylum said:

"It made perfect sense to feature upcoming bands in a store that sells upcoming footwear brands. New and unique footwear brands are an exciting part of our offer and compliment our more established premium products on sale. We’re also really excited about it as a couple of the bands have already received national acclaim".

"We see this as being a long-term partnership with the city’s young creatives and look forward to working with LIPA in the future."

On the day, there will be a 20% discount for students and an opportunity for one person to win new footwear every month for a year. Jeffrey Bowman (MrBowlegs), a shoe illustrator from Converse will also be in store.

KICK’N takes place on Saturday 17th October with bands performing inside and out from 10am – 4pm.

Live acts performing in the store will include:

Erica Vandruen
Zoe Nicol
Guru Vikingstad
Untouched
Prison Area
Dire Wolf
Jeanette Vik
Edd Croft
Tina Refsnes
Willy Mcgee
Jonas Alaska

Nike Air Max 1 Safari Now Online

1987 was a very good year.

Legendary Nike designer Tinker Hatfield designed two bangers that would revolutionise the sneaker game forever.

The Air Max 1 in its classic red and blue came equipped with the very first visible airbag. Once people could see the tech they couldn't help but get a pair just to feel the cush. Arguably, this is the shoe that turned jogging into running.

That very same year Nike dropped a bomb called the Air Safari, a wild looking little monster that sported a crazy print, combined with an eye-popping, black and orange colour-up. These wild bunnies not only performed, they drove people bananas and everyone copped a pair thinking they were Dr Livingston adeptly navigating the deepest, darkest jungle.

Direct your peepers at these crazies, recreated in all their glory for you in 2009 and available to buy online and instore from Footasylum.

HUF x DVS

The DVS Doughboy collaboration with pro skateboarder, Keith Hufnagel, are now available in four great colourways online and instore from Footasylum...

This is not the 1st collab DVs has done with HUF - they originally showcased the 1st run of Doughboys a little while back, so these two are definitely no strangers to each other…

This latest creation is simple, yet perfect for the warm days lying ahead. A must have for all you sneakerheads. Why not get a pair in all 4 colours and just rotate?

HUF (2002) by Keith Hufnagel started off as a personal desire to bring the illest streetwear, skate, footwear brands to San Francisco and ended up as a very successful brand with four different locations, probably the illest in-house line and unmatched collaborations, known worldwide, and yet he still manages to tour the world with a Skate team…

Fitflop. Get A Workout while you walk.

Fashionistas are swapping their four-inch heels in favour of FitFlops…

Because smart women wear FitFlop sandals and get a workout while they walk. Now ask yourself: what do your shoes do for you?

FitFlop’s patent-pending microwobbleboardTM technology midsole increases leg muscle activity by approximately 10-12% every time you take a step.

They’re the flip flops with a gym built-in: (And FitFlop wearer feedback indicates that the extra 10-12% is so tempting, women now never want to take their sandals off). They help improve your posture, tone your calves, your thighs and your bum muscles and have been reported* to provide relief from plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, chronic back pain, sciatica, osteoarthritis, from lower limb oedema, neuropathy, scoliosis and RLS (among other conditions).

For Spring ‘09, FitFlop is proud to present an expanded collection of Italian-designed sandal shapes in trend-forward colours with sporty and feminine upper finishes along with new slide styles for those who just can’t adjust to having anything ‘between the toes’. So pick a pair, and get a workout while you walk (even Julianne Moore and Oprah have been seen sporting them).

*log on to fitflop.com to read wearer reviews and tell us WHAT DO YOUR FITFLOPS DO FOR YOU?

Available from £36 online and instore from Footasylum. So, pick a pair, and get a workout while you walk!

FitFlop’s patent-pending microwobbleboard midsole was biomechanically engineered by Dr David Cook and Darren James at The Centre for Human Performance at London South Bank University and independently tested for efficacy by Dr Philip Graham-Smith and Dr Richard Jones at Salford University in Manchester, UK.

Nanny State - Now available to buy at Footasylum

It’s not about merging the boundaries, it’s about breaking the mould.

The philosophy is very simple, take a classic shoe, combine with the sporty/casual vulcanized process to create a hybrid piece of footwear that is not a shoe nor a trainer.

Classic styles are given the Nanny State treatment to bring them kicking and screaming in to the 21st century. Take a classic shoe and turn it on its head. This is the Nanny State way. Bold accents of colour, quirky details and a hybrid fusion of past and present.

The footwear was initially designed as an accessory for the Nanny State Clothing range but in a short space of time Nanny State has firmly established itself as the must have fashion footwear.

Nanny State footwear is now available to purchase online and instore from Footasylum.

Zanerobe - New to Footasylum
