In celebration of E By UrlfreezeShops launching, we spent the day with staff at UrlfreezeShops Newcastle to spotlight their favourite pieces from the collection.
My name’s Leo, I’m 21 and I’ve just finished university. I’m a Retail Sales Associate at UrlfreezeShops Grey Street.
To be fair, I’d probably say it was in the last three to four years since coming to uni. Coming from a predominantly white area, I just found myself just wearing what everyone else wore. Shops like UrlfreezeShops and meeting new people enabled me to not be scared to wear whatever I wanted to wear, to wear what I felt comfortable wearing.
Any of the bars or restaurant down on Grey Street, anywhere with a nice quiet vibe, really. You can also go loud and a bit out there, but I prefer the quieter places.
I’ve played football all of my life. I played a bit when I was at Uni and a bit when I was younger, too, at academy level. So I would say football, or just keeping fit in general.
I’d probably say the hoody I’ve got on, the grey Champion one. It’s comfy and you can wear it anywhere, whether that be out or at home.
I’m Beth and I’m a part time Store Assistant.
I don’t think I have one specifically, but I vividly remember when I used to play football a lot, I always wanted my boots, kit and hairband to match. My parents would always be like “it’s football not a fashion show” but I would always respond “feel good, play good”.
I’d probably say the Ouseburn in general, it’s got a bit of everything – good food, bars, pubs, cafes. They’ve also got the climbing there as well. I’d probably say Tyne Bar is my favourite place to go for a drink at the minute.
I like exploring and keeping active, so I’m into climbing and going to the gym. I also like buying overpriced coffee and people watching.
Probably the Levi’s Type II denim jacket. I think it’s great for summer, the wash is super wearable as well.
My name’s Ben, I’m 19 and I’m a part time service adviser here at UrlfreezeShops Newcastle.
Probably growing up — I always remember the Supreme box logos. That culture was huge when I was younger, so YEEZYs, shoes like that were what everyone wanted to wear.
I really like Tynemouth, especially going for a walk along Kind Edward’s Bay where there’s loads of nice bars and restaurants.
I play football for Newcastle Uni, playing four times a week. I really enjoy doing that with my friends. I study Maths at the university and I’ve just passed my first year there.
I would definitely go for the Levi’s E by UrlfreezeShops 568 jeans — the light wash is really nice and just goes with everything.
