Cleveland, Miami, etc

and every one is more overrated than the last.

Leaders in chicago was ass
St. Alfreds was too
GOODS in seattle...this place was so fukkin average...fukkin BARNEYS downtown had a better selection...i went to both and came back with a pair of terminators from barneys and nothin from goods lol.
Major was lackluster
Kickballers was actually pretty good especially for randomly obscure stuff
Commonwealth too
miami had real bullshyt shoe stores except for Shoesxtoys, which was started by a guy from HERE

all these stores 'look' good...their apparel is all the same...the workers are arrogant as fukk for no reason...its funny because i dont go in there lookin like an issue of complex, and they barely greet me half the time.

I haven't been to supreme, or Flight club, but the point of this thread:

none of these stores can fukk with Puffer Red's in Ypsilanti, MI.

none of these stores have the inventory, the selection, and depth and variety of PR..they get everything short of Hyperstrike....and get the equivilant of that for Adidas...they have a dope music/dvd section, and their fitteds collection is unfukwitable.

whats the best store where you are?

i been to leaders, they dont have **** for girls. but they got some nice ****. i wanted to go to st alfred's but never did.

but thank you for the link of the store in michigan
i just go to jimmy jazz. i dont aim for having the most exclusive shoes, i believe everyone should have at least one pair of shoes within wearing time that people are like, "damn. them ****s is hot." and i get those shoes from like foot locker or something. like my zodiac nikes (sag) i believe i got those ****s from finish line. and my chuck taylors, i got those from underground station. so chyeah, i dont really have to look far to find shoes that not many other chicagoans will have.

they have a real deep selection for girl sneakers. When Nike had the year of the AF1 a year or so ago, *they* built an Air Force 1 wall in a section of their store for them, and they got all of the Tier Zero AF1s then.

ATL has Wish on Moreland Ave., Walters downtown, and Nike Town in Lenox.
DC has Solbiato, Hu's and Majors in Georgetown
Chicago has nothing, dudes in the 'go for the most part cant dress, to busy goonin' throwing pitch forks up or down
Just left Miami and they have nothing also, dudes down there I dont think care about clothes, they just care about their cars

Michigan FTW, Gizzle. The closest places to me are Burn Rubber and Revive. I haven't gotten to check out PuffeR Red's or Motivation yet but I want to soon.
