Trainers: How much can a shoe really mean?

Trainers: How much can a shoe really mean?

This event is exclusive to Friends of Tortoise

What was your first pair? What’s your go-to pair? What’s your dream pair? From Green Flash to Stan Smiths to Kanye West’s $1.8M Yeezys, trainers are loaded cultural signifiers deemed worthy of a BBC podcast series Sneakernomics, and a major exhibition at the Design Museum. Some say trainers have even become an ‘asset class’ recently. Join us, with designers, collectors & enthusiasts, for a ThinkIn to explore why what we put on our feet says so much about who we are.

We are introducing a new booking system that will make it easier than ever for you to join our ThinkIns.  

If you have any questions or get stuck, please get in touch with us at memberhelp@tortoisemedia.com.
