A popular Edinburgh online retro football kit retailer is set to take part in a pop-up shop at St James Quarter on March 20.
It is thought to be the first event that will encompass vintage football shirt sales with unique boot offerings and customised boot designs in the capital.
Fraser Smith, the man behind EH Retro Kits, which he set up in March 2020, will be joined by Boots & Pieces and DCC Football boots for the day.
Products are thought to vary from between £10-£200 with plenty to choose from.

The event is set to take place between the hours of 10:00am-6:00pm with the pop-up situated on the ground floor of the shopping centre between Maki & Ramen and Superdrug.
On the day there will be a selection of products from unique football boots to football shirts dating back to your dad’s youth.
As well as this, there will be a football boot specialist that designs customised football boot sole plates.
On the event, Fraser said: “As far as I'm aware this is the first ever event like this to be hosted in Edinburgh so it offers a completely unique experience in the city as the demand for vintage football shirts and rare football boots grows.
“Product costs will vary from £10 - £200 depending what you are looking for.
“On the day there will be rare football boots for sale which aren't available from your regular retailers, vintage classic football shirts dating as far back as the late 80’s and you also have a football boot specialist that customises football boot sole plates.
“EH Retro Kits is based in Edinburgh and was set up by myself in March 2020. Traditionally we only sold online but this will be the first time customers will be able to purchase in store.
“On the day EH Retro Kits will be selling vintage classic football shirts from all over the world. A very small sample of what will be on offer can be seen in the attached photo.
“Prices and sizes vary but since the shirts are unique and vintage there is only one of each shirt available but over 100 to choose from on the day.
“Boots & Pieces are football boot customisation specialists based in Edinburgh who have provided a service to elite professionals across the SPL, English Premier League, Europe & beyond.
“They specialise in FG to SG stud conversions and Blackouts, and will be providing these services at the pop up shop as well as selling our products such as football studs, grip socks & DIY Blackout kits.
“DCC Football Boots are a football boot seller traditionally based in Glasgow. On the day they will be selling rare football boots that are not available to purchase at your regular retailer. There will also be over 100 pairs to choose from.
“We welcome folk to come along and check out the services and stock on offer!”
