TO GIVE LESS THAN BEST IS TO SACRIFICE THE GIFT

About Me

Two English lads with a love of sports heritage and sportswear set out to create a brand that represented their passion. They launched Trainerspotter in 2002 with no outside participation and no compromises. Initially entering the fashion process determined to find the sincerity of pure sportswear. The design process was all about spontaneity and rawness. Eventually joined by a third likeminded member the brand began to expand its parameters and grew to worldwide proportions.Because of the synchronicity of the three designers, a unique mindset now directs the aesthetic of the brand, drawing inspirations from sports culture, music, film and fashion. Breaking through any kind of calculation, Trainerspotter has found a hard won freedom that has both integrity and coherence.Stocked worldwide in the most directional stores found in each city, Trainerspotter is rapidly evolving but continually seeking to offer more detailed garments, telling more inspirational stories and but will never comprimise the brand ethos.To give anything less than best is to sacrifice the gift.

My Interests

Back in full effect just in time for summer, the Trainerspotter Chino shorts are available in a range of cool preppy colours all combined with the hidden twist of a contrasting lining. Handmade in England, each colourway is super limited to ensure you won’t see another person rockin’ the same style in your neighbourhood! Get 'em while its hot!

TRAINERSPOTTERSS08 (K)NIGHT & THE CITY CollectionPRESS RELEASEThe SS08 ‘(K)NIGHT & THE CITY’ collection, follows last seasons ‘Lost Soles’ by continuing to showcase the wider influences that make Trainerspotter the brand it is!Michael Manns original 80’s Miami Vice has influenced the brand since its inception 4 years ago, the Palm logo is a direct reference to the aesthetic of the critically acclaimed show. This season Trainerspotter has taken this influence a step further by producing awesome new pastel sunglasses inspired by MM’s strict on screen colour code, preppy tonal Polo shirts, a new casual jacket that wouldn’t look out of place in Sonnys wardrobe and a multitude of neons to light up the (k)night.Cult classics the Lost Boys and Godzilla also figure into the scheme of things, as do Prince, Cycling, MJ and Keith Harings bold signiature style. For the first time a dedicated Womens range of tees is also available, cut in an 80’s slouch style with cap sleeves they encapsulate the TS x MV ethic.Launched in 2003, Trainerspotter is a rock and roll sportswear brand with a simple mission: to fuse sports culture and streetwear. Celebrating sports icons, sneakers and ground breaking moments in history, Trainerspotter shirts express the insurrectionary spirit of McEnroe combined with Agassi’s rock and roll sports ethos in all its forms.Emblazoned with graphics and images that form a secret history of cool, Trainerspotter T-shirts aren’t just fashion statements – they’re cultural signposts, part of sports revolutionary past that laid the groundwork for modern sneaker culture.You can see TS shirts adorning many of today’s visionaries – like De La Souls Posdnous, The Artic Monkeys, N.E.R.D superstar and producer Pharrel Williams, supermodel Kate Moss, French DJ and producer Kavinsky, rising electro star GoldieLocks and many others.
