Footasylum to open Flagship Store at Trinity Leeds: Everything You Need to Know

Get ready for some serious trainer envy, because one of the UK’s biggest names in streetwear is making a massive comeback to Leeds. That’s right, Footasylum is set to open a brand-new flagship store right in Trinity Leeds this spring. If you're a fan of fresh kicks and cool clothes, this is big news. This isn't just any old shop opening; it's a huge new space designed to be more of an experience than just a place to buy things. The new Footasylum store will be a major destination for shoppers and a key part of the brand’s ongoing expansion across the country.

A huge new space for Leeds

Forget small, cramped shops. This new Footasylum is going to be massive. We're talking 12,000 square feet of retail space. To put that into perspective, that’s about the size of five tennis courts, all filled with trainers, clothes, and accessories. This isn't just a store; it’s a flagship store, which is a fancy way of saying it’s the biggest and best version of a Footasylum shop you can get. It’s where a brand shows off everything it has to offer, from the most popular items to exclusive drops you won't find anywhere else. The store will be located opposite Mango in Trinity Leeds, making it a prime spot for anyone hitting the city for some shopping. The grand opening is planned for this spring, so there isn’t long to wait to check out this impressive new retail space.

So, what can you actually buy?

This is the important bit, isn't it? The new Leeds store will be packed with an enormous range of products for everyone. Whether you're looking for menswear, womenswear, or even junior apparel for the younger trendsetters, this place will have it covered. The focus, as you’d expect from the name, will be heavily on footwear, with walls and walls of the latest trainers and shoes. But it’s not just about what’s on your feet; there will be a huge selection of accessories to complete any look.

Of course, all the big names will be there. You can expect to find gear from brands like:

• adidas

• New Balance

• Under Armour

But what makes Footasylum really stand out are its exclusive labels. These are brands you can only find in their stores, meaning you can get a unique look that not everyone on the street will have. Keep an eye out for their own lines like Monterrain, Forena, and Alpyrex. This variety is all part of what makes the brand mix at Trinity Leeds so strong, offering something for all customers. Having these exclusive labels adds another layer of appeal to the new flagship store.

Shopping but not as you know it

The team behind the new Footasylum store wants to change how people shop. They're aiming for an "immersive shopping experience." It sounds a bit corporate, but what it really means is making the store a fun place to be. Think less about dashing in and out and more about spending time there, discovering new things. This is achieved through clever design, great music, and using technology to make everything slicker. The entire in-store environment is designed to feel modern and exciting, reflecting the dynamic products on offer.

A big part of this will be the store's "mobile-first" technology. This means the shop is built to work seamlessly with your phone. One of the best features promises to be the mobile payment points dotted around the store. Imagine finding the perfect pair of adidas trainers and being able to pay for them right there and then with your phone, without ever having to queue at a till. It’s all about making the in-store experience smoother and more enjoyable for customers, getting rid of the boring bits of shopping. This focus on an immersive shopping journey is what sets modern retail apart.

A big return to a key city

For those with a good memory, this isn't Footasylum's first time in Trinity Leeds. Back in 2025, the brand ran a pop-up store, giving shoppers a little taste of what was to come. It was clearly a success, paving the way for this huge new permanent flagship store. The move is part of a bigger expansion for the company, which has seen massive growth recently. Choosing Leeds for such a significant new store shows how important the city is for the retail scene.

Shannon Osman, the Head of Retail at Footasylum, is clearly excited about the return. She commented:

“We are thrilled to announce that Footasylum will soon be opening a new flagship store at Leeds Trinity, marking our return to the city. Leeds has always been a key destination for us and we’re excited to bring our latest products and exclusive drops to this vibrant city. Our new flagship will provide an immersive and modern retail experience, designed to celebrate our community and our customers. We look forward to welcoming both new and returning shoppers when the store opens later this year.”

The team at Trinity Leeds is just as pleased. Steven Foster, the Centre Director, said:

“At Trinity Leeds, we’re committed to curating a diverse and compelling brand mix, and we’re pleased that Footasylum has chosen the centre for its new flagship store. The launch further enhances our strong sports and footwear offering - alongside brands such as Nike, Clarks, Office and Skechers – and reflects our ongoing commitment to introducing premium, in-demand brands. We look forward to Footasylum opening its doors in Spring.”

This new opening strengthens the shopping centre’s reputation for having the best in-demand brands and a fantastic selection of footwear, from high-street classics at Clarks and Office to premium sportswear. It’s another brilliant reason to visit Leeds for a day of top-tier retail therapy this spring.
