STORES/BOUTIQUES WORLWIDE - HELP...


misteraven

Recommended Posts

Alright, I know there's been a few threads on this already, but after digging through them, they seemed kind of a mess. Obviously, the major cities are really important, but if you know a real cool shop in some obscure town list anyways.

 

We're not looking for the crap mall stores that might have a mag or two and some streaks or the run of the mill shop with nothing special, but rather real slick clothing, skate, toy, and gallery spots that are worth seeking out if you happen to make it to that city.

 

Anyhow, please keep the format somewhat organized, and if you've visited the store yourself, please write a line or two about what they had that made it so slick, ie- product, interrier design, etc.

 

Example:

 

 

 

360 TOY GROUP

239 Eldridge Street

NY, NY 10002

646.602.0138

 

*Gallery/store of limited edition toys and art (Michael Lau, Kaws, Futura, etc)

 

-------------------------------------------

 

UNION

172 Spring Street

NY, NY 10012

212.226.8493

 

*Hipster boutique with lots of hard to find product like LE dunks, Maharashi, 2K, etc.

I'm like 3 blocks from there, so if you need anything... ask me.

 

There's a few other plaes in the area that carry good products from

clothes to kicks to montana cans. Let me know if you want a full report.

 

if you can, please take some photos. (at least of the outside if they wont let you photograph the inside. also, if you can report back their full address and phone number, as well as a brief description of what they carry, etc... that would be swell.

 

thanks.

 

btw, are they the only store of this type in the area, or are there other noce shops around town?

Specialty Sneakers

 

For London Sneaker Heads ...

 

Courtesy of http://www.sneakerfreaker.com:

 

"The latest, but easily the greatest, is Foot Patrol. These guys know sneakers...fact. With UK sneaker guru Fraser Cooke at the helm, this store is the place for sneaker connoisseurs. The interior is truly bizarre with all the sneakers held in cages. You’ll find kicks from Supreme, Tas, Maad Foot, Visvims, limited Reeboks and super limited Nikes like the recent Escape series or all the HTMs."

 

Footpatrol 16A St Annes Court, 02077346625, http://foot-patrol.com

 

Im not in Europe myself but I went Website hunting for the people that were not in the know, and of course for the Europeans and London Towners.

Vienna, Austria

 

The Dollar Shop

Mariahilferstr. 125, Ecke Bürgerspitalgasse

1060 Wien

Tel / Fax .: 01 / 596 4851

Email : dollarwien@aon.at

Mo - Fr : 10.30 - 18.30 / Sa : 10.30 - 17.00 Uhr

 

 

Accessible from Westbahnhof, the 18 Stassenbahn and the U3 U-bahn

They speak German and English and have a pretty good selection of skate stuff, accessories, and have a pretty good stock of Montana Paint, (for the paint you have to ask them for it, it is in a locked room). Since I moved to Vienna it has been the only shop where I have found you can get paint at decent prices. 3 to 4 euros a can.

yeah scrap yard has some cool shit, but definitly don't be one of those kids that chills there all day itching to meet someone to get in his book!

 

yeah i had the displeasure of being dragged to patricia fields by a club/drug/ sound factory obsessed freind. he then insisted we goto "bang-bang". if ever in my life i wanted to burn a clothing store, it was when i went there!

You want London, I give you London.

 

LONDON

 

the brixton shop

 

it doesn't have a name, not that I'm aware of. go to brixton station, turn right and walk for about a minute to get to brixton market, and the shop is in the indoor market, on the furthest alley away. The indoor market is very small so if you wander around for ten minutes you'll find it.

They charge the least of any shop in london (£2.50 for 400ml montana) they also have the best selection, you can get paint, ink, markers etc. They also sell hoodies and british hip hop.

 

4 star general

 

directly opposite camden town station, on the left. the prices they charge are obscene, £3.50 for montana?!!!, but it's a graf shop, so I thought I'd mention it. oh yeah the guy who runs the shop is a bit fucked up.

 

there's also graphotism in clapham junction but I don't know much about that shop.
