It's now been 40 years since its first store opened in the city centre
A legendary Liverpool shop spent 20 years at the forefront of fashion in Liverpool and left a lasting legacy.
With £500 cash and a £10,000 overdraft, Robert opened a store at 11 Slater Street in November 1982. Trips to Europe hunting the rarest trainers followed and the shop was soon selling shoes as quickly as they could get them. The ECHO recently delved into our archives to find these brilliant photos of inside Wade Smith on Mathew Street. Some, unseen for years, capture what inside the store looked like at one point in time, as well as what customers could then buy.
The players were on hand as the Wade Smith store waited for the arrival of its first pair of the revolutionary boots. Many will remember the store as it looks in these photographs, or owning some of the clothing items or shoes on display at the time.
