Perth Nightclub Bar 1 bans revellers from wearing red sneakers to keep out ... trends now
A popular nightclub has taken a desperate step to keep out 'eshays', banning anyone wearing red sneakers.
Nightclub Bar 1 in Hillarys, on the harbour north of Perth, announced the controversial new door policy will come into effect from February 1 in order to filter out revellers with a 'bad attitude'.
The nightclub's owner Malcolm Pages said the banned footwear includes red Nike, ASIC and New Balance sneakers - as these were the typical shoes of choice for many patrons who were often kicked out or refused entry to the club.
Mr Pages denied the new rule was discriminatory and said it will only apply to a 'certain style of person'.

The red sneaker ban is a bid to deter eshays from entering the waterfront venue. Eshays have gained attention in Australia over their anti-social behaviour (group of eshay youths pictured)
'If you rock up as a nicely dressed young lady with red shoes, you're not going to obviously be told to, you know, change your shoes,' he told Perth radio station 6PR on Monday.
'It's more a certain element of person.'
