Black Sheep Store

Black Sheep Store has been part of Manchester's skate scene since 2008, growing out of the city's older skateshop roots to become one of the UK's biggest skateboard shops. It now trades from Dale Street in the Northern Quarter, having previously run Central Skatepark, a 10,000 sq ft indoor spot that served Manchester's skaters for eight years. The shop's Black Sheep Team has taken the European "Best Skate Shop Team" title twice and the UK title eight times, competing against shops from as far as Israel.

The edit is built for skateboarding first, with Palace, Nike SB, Emerica, Lakai, DC Shoes, Volcom and Wayward alongside Manchester-adjacent names like Poets Brand and Alltimers. Sneakers and streetwear sit comfortably around it, with New Balance Numeric, HUF, Stussy, Stance and Dickies rounding things out for everyday wear on and off the board.
