How Football and Grime Music Inspired the UK’s Sneaker Culture

The UK is divided both geographically and trend wise when it comes to sneakers (trainers). In the north football culture reigns supreme, while London is inspired by hip-hop and grime music.
In this episode, we can see commentary from Dizzee Rascal, Gary Aspden, Mubi Ali, DJ Target, Full Size Run’s Matt Welty, and more.
Grime music is a genre of electronic dance music that emerged in London in the early 2000s. It was developed out of the dance styles like UK garage.
Considering London was the hub of grime music, and there are several football clubs in the capitol of the UK, we can see how the city became a center for innovation in sneakers.
