Clints have eclipsed the city but have not forgotten where they started. They’re at the forefront of Manchester’s streetwear revolution, emerging as a beacon of innovation in the world of footwear. This homegrown brand has redefined the landscape with its avant-garde shoe silhouettes, blending cutting-edge design with urban grit. Though marked by a core of footwear the store also offers a range of other apparel to complement their designs.

NIGHT & DAY CAFÉ 

A cornerstone of Manchester’s underground scene, Night & Day Café stands as a beacon for live music enthusiasts looking for the next best thing. A chip shop in a once-quiet part of the city, turned iconic venue, it has evolved into a pivotal hotspot for both local and international acts. With a history that includes unforgettable performances from the likes of Kasabian, Paulo Nutini, and Arctic Monkeys, the café has carved out a space where musical legends and emerging talent converge. 

What truly distinguishes Night & Day Café is its unwavering commitment to the music community and credibility to boot.
