Why RetroSexual?
-
Here at RSV we have a penchant for retro clothing & footwear.
It's nothing kinky, -but more of a compulsion. A desire. A love.
We're born this way.
If you have a passion for rare streetwear pieces, historic vintage heat or one-of-a-kind collectable items
then align your love with ours.
Join our newsletter and check back regularly.

For your assurance
we generally package single purchase pairs of footwear without an OG box in high quality PVC slide out boxes
We treat all used footwear with a "sporicidal, virucidal, anti-bacterial and fungicidal" spray
and we always post fully tracked, insured and signed for.

Originally established in early 2017 as a very humble and modest Instagram page - in the past year, things have really picked up momentum for us. We've had the privilege to work with/supply some of the following brands HQ's or HO's for various projects:
Nike, Beaverton Oregon
Nike, London
Adidas, Amsterdam
Adidas, Herzogenaurach
Puma, Herzogenaurach
Puma, London
Saucony, London
Asics, Hoofddorp
& many more
It's even true to say that we have sourced archive models for re-release on a mass production scale (aka "retro's"). You may have bought some yourself unknowingly!

Our first stall was at the 2017 #JustJam International 10th anniversary event -right here, in Newcastle, England.
We even blessed the tournament winner with a free box of kicks!
It was great to finally put some faces to (user)names and to meet some new friends. Thanks to all involved.

So, why the disclaimer?
Simply put, -because vintage carries a higher risk than a modern manufactured item.
Time makes relics of us all and unfortunately, that applies to our footwear too.
We sell rare pieces that cannot have a guarantee of durability, -unlike a modern manufactured store retail bought pair.
The reason they are rare is often because not many have survived this long due to materials used during the original manufacturing process.
Please educate yourself on polyurethane degradation and also understand that glue perishing is also a potential factor. These issues can usually be remedied by a simple re-glue job or potential mid-sole swap - although, this is not something that RSV can assist with.
There are risks associated with choosing to wear none-recently manufactured footwear. You (the buyer) accept such risks as your responsibility when you approve the condition for wear upon receiving the item.
Every effort to document and image any damage points or condition issues has been made. If you feel other wise then please contact prior to wear.
