Grosvenor has revealed that the women’s active streetwear brand, Red Run, has inaugurated its new flagship store at Liverpool ONE. This opening signifies not just a pivotal moment for Red Run but also underscores Liverpool ONE’s commitment to nurturing local, independent enterprises.
Spanning 1,400 square feet on Liverpool ONE’s Manesty’s Lane, the store is a visual treat, displaying Red Run’s meticulously curated, high-quality active streetwear. To mark the occasion, Red Run has rolled out its most sought-after collection to date, AW23, dubbed ‘Parisian Night.’ Adding another layer to its direct-to-consumer strategy, Red Run has collaborated with ASICS to offer a handpicked assortment of sneakers, curated by Creative Director Megan Kimmance. These sneakers are intended to complement Red Run’s versatile fashion collections, providing customers with a comprehensive style solution. Moreover, the brand plans to unveil exclusive, limited-edition designs periodically, starting with a printed long-sleeved skater tee from their best-selling INKY collection, available in-store from October 28.
The store’s design, orchestrated by Creative Director and Co-founder Megan Kimmance, mirrors Red Run’s core values. It employs sustainable, responsibly sourced materials and sports a modern industrial look. With a dedicated following across the North West and further afield, the flagship store will also serve as a venue for exclusive in-store VIP events and collaborative activations.
Rob Deacon, Asset Management Director at Grosvenor, stated, “Supporting independents and local businesses has always been a huge part of our strategy at Liverpool ONE and Red Run is yet another trail-blazing local brand built from the fabric of Liverpool. With a dedication to sustainability and community and a loyal following set to bring visitors back time and time again, Red Run is an excellent addition to our diverse and curated selection of retailers, and I am looking forward to witnessing the brand continue to go from strength to strength.”
