Headline test

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!

Artist-run sneaker and designer clothing boutique off the beaten Chinatown hipster path, featuring limited edition and exclusive lines.

by Matthew Allard at Citysearch

In Short
A glowing wall of floating sneakers replaces the cubed displays that punctuated the former location of one of Chinatown's hippest shoe boutiques. The new shop, in what was once a Jake Hanley gallery, doesn't change much else though. Besides a more open floor plan that pits T-shirts and sneakers on opposite sides of the room, the mood is still totally street. Slate gray walls and the aforementioned creative shelving draw immediate attention to their extensive collection of limited edition kicks from hard-to-find lines like Gravis, Ree Boppers, Alife and Ice Cream, plus Reebok, Puma and New Balance. Racks of mainly exclusive designer casual wear for men and women--X-girl, Boxfresh, Wesc, Generic Youth, 2K and LeRoy Jenkins--round out the collection.

so this place is one of those secret places, it's in chinatown and it's like the last thing youd expect to see there. but they had all the hard to find LE shirts ive wanted, and i think it is the ONLY place that sells alife in this city. YEEEEEEEAH. anyway if youre into that stuff you should check it out. it's the best.

• Pros: one of a kind things
• Cons: --
