Ne-Yo wears red trainers at Perth’s Bar 1 in Hillarys after the nightclub banned shoe color in a desperate attempt to avoid trouble
Ne-Yo was spotted wearing red sneakers at a Perth nightclub after the venue banned them.
Bar 1 nightclub in Hillarys, on the harbor north of Perth, recently announced that the controversial new door policy will come into effect from February 1 to filter out revelers with a “bad attitude”.
In a photo uploaded to Instagram by dancer Faith Ward, the 43-year-old American singer can be seen at the nightclub in a pair of red sneakers.

“Ne-Yo is the only person allowed to wear red shoes at @bar1nightclub,” she captioned the picture.
It comes after the popular nightclub took a desperate step to keep “Eshays” out by banning anyone wearing red sneakers.
The nightclub’s owner, Malcolm Pages, said the banned shoes included red Nike, ASIC and New Balance sneakers – as these were the typical shoes of choice for many guests, 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”.
“Obviously if you’re a nicely dressed young lady with red shoes you’re not being told to change your shoes,” he told Perth radio station 6PR on Monday.
“It’s more of a certain element of the person.”
The nightclub released the announcement to its social media followers on Sunday and quickly received a flood of replies from locals.
The post, which featured a picture of a red sneaker and a retro image of a boy flexing a bicep, was captioned “Yes, we’re serious.”
“Bar1 crew, red shoes are banned from February 1st,” the post reads.

The bold news drew a mixed reaction from the club’s Facebook followers.
Some applauded the venue for standing up to unruly patrons wearing the offensive shoes.
‘Good. They’re sticky and gross,” the comment read.
“I would say the club is fed up with all the bogans making trouble while wearing these monstrosities.”
Another suggested the red sneakers should be “banned everywhere”.
