Tommy Mallet put pen to paper to create a high-end sneaker dynasty

A pair of Mallet trainers

Tommy Mallet was known to many as a reality TV star from 'The Only Way is Essex' (TOWIE). But in 2015, Tommy added footwear designer to his resume.

'Mallet Footwear' has had a meteoric rise since the idea first came to fruition with the help of a notepad and pen.

An individual known for his never-say-never attitude, Tommy, 26, had an innovative idea for a high-end sneaker.

After discussions and advice from close friends within the industry, he was able to establish his first prototype trainer and has not looked back since.

With his company worth around £1m, Tommy has seen his sneakers on the shelves in high-end retailers Selfridges, Flannels and Harrods.

His shoes are priced at around £165 and are worth every penny. The slick yet simplistic design truly represents the essence of the company. High-end, original and sophisticated.

The trainer compliments every style of outfit possible. From joggers to smart trousers, the sneaker can be worn on every occasion.

It definitely deserves a look-in for your Boxing Day purchase.
