A POPULAR Wrexham trainer repair and reuse business has moved into a shop in the city centre.

Wrexham Trainer Revival has spent the last three years being based inside Ty Pawb.

The business is run by Steve Tapp - and specialises in repairing and reviving old trainers. It has moved into a unit on Lord Street.

He said: "I start by taking someone’s old trainers and try and turn them into something worth wearing again.

"I firstly clean them up, I’ll then put in fresh colour if required - I can also replace original lettering, for example if it was a pair of Adidas Gazelle that had lost the wording due to wear, I’d be able to put fresh lettering in.

"I also customise trainers so can strip a trainer back and add personal lettering, names football teams or favourite bands/groups music. I can also add images to correspond with the lettering."

Wrexham Trainer Revival also sells rare brand new trainers along with a range of different and unique items - framed artwork, t-shirts, literature, mugs and designer face masks and Wrexham AFC memorabilia. 

Steve said: "I’ve had an amazing three years building a business in Ty Pawb but I feel the time is now right to have my own front door and the flexibility of different opening hours. I’ve meet some amazing people at Ty Pawb and made new friends for life.

"Just want to say a huge thank you to all my customers for your support and loyalty over the last three years and I’ll guarantee my new space will have even better and more stock than ever before."
