FP died very recently with the news of a certain someone leaving. You get me?
RIP

QUOTE:Like a lot of others, I tend to buy a majority of my purchases online, but when shopping on the high st. FP was one of a few places I knew I could get quality products and service. Without a constant daily influx of custom, today's independent and small businesses dont stand a chance.
Bond, SK and FP within a Year.
All 3 of those are down to the landlords around Soho though.

i only ever madeit into the shop itself once and just talked trainers with them to the point that m mrs got the hump. i walked away with 2 pairs of sneakers that day to add the the other half dozen or so i bought from their site.
crap news to hear its closing i have to say. looks like Size are going to see an upturn in business cos if you look at the stock that JD and footlocker stock its mostly poor!

only problem is the massive pics of shoes they are now using – making my subtle checks while at work a lot more obvious

Just been on the foot patrol web site and it says it is currently closed, is this just the web site, or is it the store as well, haven't been down in a couple of weeks although I spoke to the store last week and it was open, anyone know anything?
website says footpatrol version 2.0 beta at the top so perhaps the site is closed while they get an upgrade.
They still have their number and email up there so someone must be around to answer the phone / email.

I personally prefer the old site, the new one is a lot more like a standard sneaker website whereas the old was quite cool, kinda "edgy".

Edgy as in annoying typing sound, crappy small product shots (that always seemed to be out of proportion to me, or at least of tiny shoes) and far too many clicks vs content?
Massive, massive improvement. Easy of use = increased likelihood of purchase.
Nice work to the brains involved.

What this man said, the new site is so much more user friendly.
Even if it is a bit 'naked' and perhaps stereotypical it's a vast improvement from the 1.0.

i think the old site was a lot better
it is still a nice site. i just felt that the old site was different (although it did have a few probs)

Just went to Footpatrol website and saw this:

QUOTE:To all valued customers, suppliers and visitors to Footpatrol,
Footpatrol opened in 2002 in Soho, London stocking select sneakers and footwear. Our mission was to find the best of the best across various footwear brands and to create special projects with our partners.
Our lease at 16A St Anne’s Court has come to an end and we have decided not to renew. We will therefore close the physical store at the end of March 2008.
In the meantime, we will be having a clearance sale at 16A St Anne’s Court.
We are continuing to work with our suppliers on some special projects. These will appear over the summer at our other stores - Stussy on 19 Earlham Street and The Hideout on 7 Upper James Street.
Please check our websites and Crooked Tongues for more information closer to the release time.
Thank you for your support and custom over the past five years.
The Footpatrol Team

This sounds awful news for the UK trainer buying public. Looks like hideout will go back to stocking kicks like it used to but won't be the same.

Must be a sudden thing, why revamp the site and then close........gutted.
RIP, shame for everyone who has supported the shop and Wes

Not really that shocked to be honest, I'd actually heard that footpatrol and hideout were gonna close a few months ago, looks like it was half right.
S**T....bad news all around...only the other day me and Sam were saying that after Slammin closing FP was the only place in town to have a half decent chat etc. SAD SAD NEWS
QUOTE:Wow, I'm a bit stunned by that...
me to, fantastic all round store with an excellent loyal customer base.
as for customer service, i dont think you will ever find a more genuine bloke than wes (especially in london)
this is a true shame, the UK has now lost probably the most unique trainer shop in the country
whens the closing party!

i'm shocked - nothing but love for the place!!! it's the place i first met most people from here in the flesh for the 1st time... 
Sad news.
Had some nice bits from FP over the years, gonna miss hanging out with Wes and Nori on a Saturday afternoon.... wish them both all the best for the future!
Wes did such a great job on the last Campus thing, so glad I copped all 3 now, a constant reminder on my feet about the good old days at FP.

No doubting the store's place in the annals of trainer stores in this country, nor Kohei and Wes, nor some great shoes over the years and outstanding collabs... but let's not go overboard. Gimme 5 has shut stores in the past and gone on to bigger and better things. Not like it was a one man oppo fighting the good fight like Magdi. Not like there's not gonna be a Tier 0 store in the UK is there? That said, the streets of central London will be a poorer place, just like when Bond went.
To the good ship FP and all that sailed in her, to the shoes I've gotten from there, to the scene/culture/etc it helped to stimulate and grow... I salute thee.

Because...
QUOTE:We will therefore close the physical store at the end of March 2008.
... so the website will be all there is. Undoubtedly the stock will be of less appeal at times due to Nike's policies.
at least if wes was to move to the hideout to he'd put smile on the staffs misserable a*s faces in there!!!
thats some bad news.
popping into FP after (or during) a sh*t day at work always put a smile on my face, and often a bag in my hand and a decrease in my bank account.
nice work over the years guys, you'll be missed.
