Download The Official Press Release

Oxfam is collaborating with family-run business Vintage Trainers to launch an exclusive six-week pop-up at the Oxfam Manchester Superstore, opening Saturday 8 November after a special VIP preview on Friday 7 November. The pop-up brings together unique, collectible second-hand trainers — with every purchase helping to fund Oxfam’s work tackling poverty and inequality.

Discover Collectible Trainers from Iconic Brands

From Adidas and Nike to New Balance and Puma, the collection features a curated range of character-packed vintage trainers — hand-restored and ready for new stories.

Workshops That Inspire Repair and Creativity

Across the six weeks, visitors can join hands-on sessions covering trainer care, customisation, and repair — all designed to extend the life of footwear and celebrate the joy of buying second-hand.

Shared Values, Shared Mission

“We believe second-hand trainers are more than just fashion — they carry stories and character,” says Mat Shaul, Co-Founder of Vintage Trainers. “We’re excited to welcome shoppers in Manchester to discover them and support a great cause.”
