NIKE COLLECTION

THERE IS NO FINISH LINE FOR COLLECTORS

About Me

Prior to forming Trainerspotter the three of us were (and still are) avid sneaker collectors, primarilly Nike shoes. This obsession started somewhere around the mid nineties and steadily built. The American cultural invasion of the early 1980’s originally sparked our love of Nike trainers as kids, they had a mystic that other brands didn’t posses, something new and unobtainable.Since forming Trainerspotter in 2002 we have endeavored to build a comprehensive Nike collection comprising not only of shoe styles but adverts, posters, apparel and general Nike ephemera. Obviously this is an ongoing commitment and the pieces shown here are the tip of the collection.Over the years we have made many good friends in the USA, France and Japan with greater collections than our own. Individuals with a passion for the sport as much as the sneaker.True collectors are driven not by trends, fashion, reissues or collaborations but by an in depth appreciation of the aesthetic and the history of a particular shoe..
