“Myself and the team are incredibly proud to reach our tenth anniversary in 2024 with Laces Out! It’s been a wild journey so far and something which has grown each year, to Laces Out! now being one of the world’s defining events in sneaker culture and also one of Europe’s biggest, all under one roof here in Liverpool. We unite sneakerheads to explore an unparalleled selection of rare and exclusive trainers, limited editions and sought-after collaborations and for part 1 we’ve got some great collaborations happening. First up, we’re really excited to have a panel talk with Edson Sabajo of streetwear giants ‘Patta’. Then at our after party taking place at Lost Art, there’s a photo exhibition from renown photographer Armen Djerrahian which is going to be really special.”

Armen is showcasing some of his iconic photographs featuring some of the most influential artists in Hip-Hop including archive images of Nas, Jay-Z and Mos-Def at the Laces Out! after party. His work spans music and culture to fashion and he’s an incredible cultural documenter.
