Laces Out! returns for 10th anniversary celebrations in Liverpool

Liverpool is set to host its biggest-ever Laces Out! event to date.

Laces Out! is celebrating its 10^th anniversary in the city with two huge events – and the first kicks off on Saturday 18 May.

Kicking off the 10th anniversary celebrations, Laces Out! will feature special guests and activations at The ACC.

The day’s lineup includes activations by adidas and Sevenstore, cleaning demonstrations and sneaker giveaways with official partner Crep Protect, a live podcast by The Sneaker Annexe, a panel discussion and DJ set with Edson Sabajo of Patta.

Capping off the festivities, the after party at Lost Art will showcase a photo exhibition by Armen Djerrahian.

Founder Rob May said:

“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.”

Since moving to the ACC last year, Laces Out! now offers an even bigger array of footwear options and the chance to connect with fellow enthusiasts from around the world who converge on Liverpool for this special day.

The ACC enables Laces Out! to accommodate more guests, with thousands expected to attend the first part of the 10^th anniversary, showcasing traders and sneaker brands ranging from limited productions to unique one-offs from iconic and feted labels.

The ACC Exhibition Centre, located at Kings Dock in Liverpool, provides spacious halls, state-of-the-art facilities and a convenient location ideal for attendees, traders, and exhibitors alike.

Laces Out! has established itself as a premier event in the sneaker community. The date for part 2 of the 10^th anniversary will be announced soon.

For Saturday May 18, there are general admission, Q-jump and Ultra tickets. Ultra ticket holders receive a free Laces Out! Tote Bag inc. Badge, Sticker Pack, Crep Protects Gifts and more.
