'Immersive' trainer festival returns to Liverpool this month with thousands expected

A Liverpool festival celebrating the world of trainers is returning this month with thousands expected to attend.

Laces Out began in 2014, showcasing a range of rare and exclusive trainers, limited editions and sought-after collaborations from brands such as Adidas and Nike. Previously located at Camp and Furnace in the Baltic Triangle, the festival has grown over the years to include panel discussions, live music and food and drink.

Following its debut at the ACC Exhibition Centre in June, Laces Out will be returning again to Liverpool’s waterfront. Its organisers claim the festival is regarded as one of Europe’s biggest celebrations of sneaker culture in Europe, offering an immersive experience for attendees from all over the UK and beyond.
