Sneakers from brands that are known and some that are not. Special sneakers that you won't be able to find at a footlocker. Tier 0 accounts for all the shoes. Workers are dope and helps you with whatever you need.
- Pros: awesome storeeeeee
- Cons: nothing!

Nice little boutique shop
by david328ci
Nice collection of clothes. I usually go there to buy Stussy stuff. They have sneakers as well with a large collection of New Balance shoes. The staff is friendly, but the parking can be hard to find during the day.
- Pros: Nice staff, designer brands, cool atmostphere
