KershKicks: Manchester’s spot for deadstock and grail streetwear

KershKicks was founded in 2019 by brothers Sam and Ben Kersh, who saw a gap in the market for a store where sneaker lovers could buy, sell, and trade all in one place. Thanks to KershKicks, that gap is officially filled with the store attracting rappers, Premier League footballers, and other fashion forward celebs who pop by to cop a pair of rare or exclusive new kicks.

But you don’t have to be famous or influential to benefit from the range on offer at KershKicks. The brand has a strong base of loyal customers from all over Manchester, and much further afield. As well as its selling and trading aspect, which is aimed at collectors and sellers of authentic rare and vintage sneaker styles, KershKicks prides itself on its collection of limited edition and deadstock finds.

What to expect from KershKicks

It’s hard to find, sought after, or ‘grail’ pieces that really defined KershKicks, and helped the brothers secure their place in the world of rare sneakers. From there, the success of their Manchester store was kick-started and has since expanded into Glasgow.

At KershKicks, the shelves are lined with Jordans, New Balance, Yeezys as well as clothing from Supreme, Anti Social Social Club and Travis Scott. But one thing you can guarantee to find in store, aside from some of the hottest trainers around, is passion.

Having started their buying and selling business from the ground up, the Kersh brothers care about what they do, and they care about what you buy and trade from them. Having started out small, they know the ropes and have learned each step of the process first hand.

What you should know about KershKicks

Though KershKicks’ Manchester hasn’t been around for long, the vision began back in 2014, when Sam lived in America and was witnessing the sneaker collecting scene evolve and grow before his eyes. It inspired the brothers to imitate the selling and collecting communities that are ever expanding overseas, and their version to sneakerheads looking for rare trainers in Manchester.

Sam and Ben started buying and selling their own rare sneakers and streetwear styles themselves, expanding into deadstock collections and eventually learning and accumulating enough to open their own store.

They source their sneakers from trusted international marketplaces, and have a close-knit team of footwear obsessed experts that can guarantee the authenticity of every piece. From rare and exclusive collections to deadstock grail finds, everything in KershKicks is 100% legit.
