Established in 2004, Pointer was created with the aim of making simple, well-designed casual shoes in response to a market then saturated with increasingly technical trainers and hyped-up limited edition sneakers. Since we started working with Pointer the range has grown and developed season on season, and now we feel they offer some of the best casual footwear around, at an unrivaled price.
We now have available a few new styles for the Spring. The Cyril is back, this time with a mixed suede and leather upper. The Crago is the low version of the cyril, and a new style for us. We also have the Toby back in black and white, and the nautical Debasser back in stock. Head over to the pointer section to view the styles…
Fred Perry’s Laurel collection captures the true spirit of the brand. The collection draws inspiration from the brands history, referencing youth culture and the music scene to create a truly special collection. This season sees Fred Perry move production of many garments back to the UK, the brands original home. Using the finest materials, and with the usual adjusted slim fit, the Laurel collection sets its self apart from the mainline. The first drop from the new collection – shirts, classic polos, footwear and bags, is due to launch Friday 30th January.
Those of you familiar with Raf’s last collaboration with Fred Perry will notice that this season’s joint effort is slightly more colourful! Jumping from muted, dark shades to bright colours and stripes the SS09 collection definitely has the warmer days in mind. The range is very limited and will be arriving to End soon.
Contributing to ‘making the world a prettier place’ are London based designers Mark Eley and Wakako Kishimoto, who have put their mark on the latest release of Eastpak bags. Featuring a more graphic based design than the subtle styling of the Raf Simons collaboration the Eley Kishimoto collection showcases a more youthful feel. Vibrant prints, bold colours and highly limited quantities available worldwide.
We are please to be offering each style in the range in-store and online now.
Born from the same concept as the Folk apparel range, Shofolk’s ethos is to not follow trend but to create shoes their friends would wear!

The low style Alaric, and high style Armstrong and Harry are all available to purchase online in our Folk section.

As if the idea of new A.P.C. stock wasn’t appealing enough, the range now comes with the added bonus of being available to purchase online.
Producing footwear since the 60’s and made iconic by the Santa Monica skate scene in the early 70’s Vans is now on the feet of all walks of life in 2009.

The legendary Authentic is the first style to arrive at End, with more colours and styles winging there way here over the coming season.
