Nearing its first birthday, this sneaker-hound shop displays rare kicks as if they were works of art. Owner Hung Lam, who’s been collecting since his teen years, has a personal collection that once numbered 600 pairs. Stop in to admire hard-to-find styles from Nike, Adidas and Reebok, such as the laser-engraved Air Jordan Retro 15 LS ($200), which is as covetable as it is unattractive, or last fall’s Voltron-edition Reeboks (each pair comes with one of the coloured toy lions; collect all five to make the full-size robot). Lam also brings in Asian-edition shoes, and sources equally covetable rare street apparel from such brands as Kidrobot and, for the ladies, Hellz Bellz.
