Blue Nike running shoes, size 9, neon swoosh
Description
I lost my blue Nike running shoes—size 9, Pegasus 38—with a bright neon green swoosh and a tiny white scuff on the left toe. I last saw them yesterday around 3pm outside the Victoria Centre shopping mall in Nottingham, near the tram stop on Wheeler Gate. They're in decent condition, just a bit sweaty from a long run, and there's a small tear in the inner lining from the rain a few weeks back. They have sentimental value—they were a gift from my coach after I qualified for the charity half-marathon. If anyone found them, I’d really appreciate getting them back. Please drop them at the Nottingham City Council Lost and Found, or message me here.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
