Hi, I'm Rishika and I'm the founder of Sole Circle UK, which is a not for profit...

...organisation based around pre loved sneakers and creating a circular economy. The idea for Sole Circle actually came from my childhood. I grew up like not being able to afford a pair...

...of Nikes. One day my dad was like, let's go shopping. I'm going to buy you your first pair of good shoes. I picked out some Air Max 90s. And the feeling was just unmatched.

The donated shoes from Sole Circle go to the less privileged members of our community. Community is everything. Not only..

..to me, but it should be everything to everyone. Because without community, we don't have people to lean on, we don't have access to inspiration, and everyone coming together is just so impactful.

There is power in numbers. Quite literally, anyone that I see on the street inspires me. Like, I will see something and I'll say, oh, that looks good. I'll tell them...

...they look good and then I'll put it in my next outfit. The looks I put together today are very Y2K. I think a pop of colour is always nice, especially when it's metallics. I love metallics.

The thing that I love about the V2K Run the most is that it is a mesh of different materials. 
You've got the silver, you've got the white, you've got the off white. So it really, really helps all the textures...
