Exit Stores

Like your Carhartts? Then this is the place for you. Skaters, and I mean serious skaters, are the usual clientele at this shop, with its accompanying range of Nike and Etienes and a bunch of other brands I can’t spell.
I myself haven’t hopped on a skateboard since I fell off one sideways when I was about eleven and left myself with a bruise bigger than my own face on my thigh. Still, when the kids who hang outside the business estate on Chapel Street during the holidays aren’t wafting incredibly pungent herbal smoke across the road and practisin’ their freestylin’, I’m sure they’re in here seeking out togs for comfort and niche fashion.
Exit has plenty of variety for those who like to roll around on wheels and also those who perhaps scratch their dad’s vinyl with their brand new decks whilst dreadlocking their hair and promising they’ll ‘cash’ their mother’s gold when they’re actually turning it into a Mr T style necklace for themselves. Yes, rollin’ with the homies, to use the term literally, just about every underground subculture and teenage sense of identity can be found here. Even emos. They wear good trainers. Granted, the prices won’t be too low but you are buying highbrow sportswear, it’s to be expected.

I really like Exit. Stores like Freespirit seem to be dropping off the high street radar, so it’s nice to have a Skate brand friendly store like Exit still selling the brands we love.
Exit manages to pack a lot in it’s usually small stores and for that I am grateful. I’m not much of a skater, I never have been, don’t have the balance or co-​ordination, however some of my friends can sniff out the nearest skatepark within a ten mile radius, and know the difference between a short board and a long board, and can spend many an hour drooling over wheels and bearings.
Personally i prefer to drool over the range of Nike 6.0s and Supras, ahhh heaven…
Exit are also masters of the belt… studded belts are supreme here, in monocrome, block colours, spatter patterns, keyboard patterns, and rainbow designs.
Usual staples include brightly coloured and funky hoods, tees, foot wear, bags, and skate stuffs.
Brands favour, Supra, Nike 6.0, LRG, Element, Famous Stars and Stripes, amongst others… love it.

I came to Exit to buy something ‘skatey’ for my little brother (I wouldn’t have a clue about the brands to be honest if he wasn’t with me). Although it’s small, they have a great range of skate and street brands here including t-​shirts, caps, trainers, skateboards of course and accessories.
I ended up buying him a pair of Nike trainers, that quite frankly look like boats on his feet but I’m told that’s the look. He also bought himself a ‘cassette tape’ belt buckle and LRG t-​shirt which were both a great price. The staff in here were very attentive.

Exit is a small shop located on Oldham Street. It sells mainly skatewear and trainers. Also selling skateboards it is a very popular shop with the younger generation. For those who love skate trainers as much as i do, you’ll always find a nice unusual pair in this shop, as well as clothing brands such as atticus, falcon and other famous skating brands. Perfect if youre looking for something a little difeerent.
