This venue is closed.

This London-based streetwear store delivers a mix of classic kicks, graphic tees, and designer wares in its first stateside outpost. The sleek white shelves and bumping hip hop playing overhead creates a casually cool vibe, and projectors play guy flicks like Caddyshack and Star Wars on the walls. The main draw is the vast assortment of Nike shoes, including MX95s, MX90s, Jordans, Nike Zooms, and Dunks. The buyers stay ahead of the curve, receiving new and exclusive styles the week they’re released. Colorful, graphic tees and hoodies hang on a long, store-spanning rack, displaying favorites like graphic monster tees from New York-based brand Brinca, illustrated Kidrobot designs, “Crack is Wack” shirts from Rocksmith Tokyo, and Ichiban tees printed with messages like, “The pound is stronger than the dollar—Holla!” For those who dare to mix streetwear with designer style, Global carries small selection of Ralph Lauren polos, along with a separate sneaker section dedicated to Prada, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana, and Fendi. — Lauren Murrow
