Gymshark has opened a permanent space at Selfridges in the Trafford Centre – the first place you can physically shop the brand outside of London.
Fans can now shop the fitness community and apparel brand in new stores at Selfridges Trafford and Selfridges London, as well as online.
Instead of having to rely on zooming in on pieces online or travelling to London, Northern customers who love the activewear brand can see its pieces for real in their new shopping experience.
The opening follows the success of Gymshark’s flagship store on Regent Street, which opened its doors in October 2022, and the recent announcement of the Westfield Stratford City site, set to open this summer.
The brand’s new space within Selfridges showcases some of its best-sellers and popular mainline collections such as Women’s Vital Seamless, Elevate and Adapt and Men’s Arrival, Legacy, and Crest.
Selfridges will also feature Gymshark’s exclusive limited-edition ranges, including the new everywear collection.
The premium luxury department store will be the only place to purchase everywear, with exclusivity until early-mid April.
The everywear collection promises ‘reach-for-everyday’ pieces designed to outlast passing trends while ensuring maximum wearability.
The colour palette, comprising muted tones such as Ice Grey, Fog Purple, and Dollar Green, is intentionally cohesive, encouraging mixing and matching to make getting ready easy.
For those seeking a bolder statement, hues like Sunray Yellow and Fetch Pink provide a vibrant pop of colour.
Noel Mack, Chief Brand Officer at Gymshark said: “When we were in the early stages of planning what will be one of our most exciting launches ever; everywear.
“We realised we had to launch it somewhere equally exciting. That’s why it’s amazing to reveal that this first line will exclusively launch at the UK’s most prestigious retailer, Selfridges, both online and in- store.
“Up until this point, Gymshark has quite literally only been available directly from us, whether on Gymshark.com or at our flagship store in Regent Street – so this serves as not only an incredible way to launch our exciting new capsule collection but also marks our first ever foray into the world of wholesale.”
“It’s a huge milestone for us and I can’t wait for our community to be able to properly touch and feel the everywear collection,” he added.
Bosse Myhr, Selfridges Director of Menswear & Womenswear, said: “We are delighted to welcome Gymshark to Selfridges, enhancing our selection of brands and providing our customers with access to cutting-edge activewear.
“The synergy between Gymshark’s commitment to innovation and Selfridges’ dedication to delivering unique retail experiences makes this collaboration a perfect fit.”
After years of will-they-won’t-they speculation, Oasis are officially BACK together for a reunion tour. The Gallagher brothers have put aside their differences in the name of music, making thousands of fans extremely happy in the process.
The band teased the news on their socials over the weekend, posting a video on Sunday morning with today’s date (Tuesday, August 27th) and the time 8am.
The legendary Mancunian rockers will take to the stage next summer, with gigs in Cardiff, London, Edinburgh, Dublin and, of course, Manchester.
15 years after splitting, the band confirmed they would be back for 14 shows, saying: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised”.
The gigs will be Oasis’s ‘only shows in Europe next year’, with tickets on sale this Saturday at 8am in Ireland and 9am in the UK.

Two men have now been charged with murder, following the discovery of a human torso in Kersal Dale.
As well as that, more suspected human remains were also discovered this morning, Monday April 29th, in an alleyway close to the railway lines off Worsley Road, Eccles.
This follows earlier discoveries of human remains over the past three weeks, at Kersal Dale, Blackleach Reservoir and Colliery Wood, all in Salford.
Greater Manchester Police
Michal Jaroslaw Polchowski (25/04/1956) and Marcin Majerkiewicz (10/04/1982) both of Worsley Road, Eccles, have been charged with murder.
They are set to appear at Tameside Magistrates Court this afternoon.
While formal identification is still ongoing, the remains found at Kersal Dale are believed to be of a local man in his 60s. The remains found at the other three locations are still to be tested, but police are confident they belong to the same victim.
ACC Sarah Jackson said: “We have had large numbers of officers, staff and specialists working diligently on this investigation over the last three weeks. It has been very much a large, collective effort, with the victim and family at the heart of it from the outset.
“We have specially trained officers deployed to support the family as they come to terms with this tragic news. They are aware of this morning’s further discovery and will continue to be kept up to date with how we are progressing.
“Despite the charges brought today, our work is far from over.
“The scenes we already have established in Bury and Salford will remain in place for much of this week whilst our searches and enquiries continue. Local officers will continue to patrol the impacted areas to provide reassurance.
“We will continue following every line of enquiry to recover and reunite the victim with his family, bringing a dignified end to this terrible scenario.
“I’d like to thank the communities of Salford and beyond for their cooperation throughout this investigation. I know this incident has come as a shock, and the support we’ve had from those in the area is very much appreciated.”
