Arguably the best sneaker store in town, this Queen West shop has nothing to do with hippies. Brand selection is dictated by trends, but the overall tenor is retro: Adidas Originals, PF Flyers and Converse are current mainstays. The narrow room recently underwent a renovation, but you’ll still jockey for space with eager back-to-schoolers and indie rockers. More unusual finds: wood grain high-top PF Flyers ($130), and Adidas’s Porsche driving shoes ($150–$160). Three rows are dedicated to Asics Onitsuka Tiger’s popular Mexico 66 line ($120–$130).
Hours:
