Hmmm, lets see. If I was to mention names such as Stussy, Supreme and Nort/Recon, everybody will be able to relate with me. But what if I mentioned stores like Secret Society, Goliath, and Moes Sneaker Spot, could everybody relate with me then. Some people will say yes, most will say no, and others would either say they have heard of them but was never really interested. Well I am telling you from experience, these stores are well worth the travel.
Moes Sneaker Spot, located in Jamaica, Queens, is a store that has been around since the late 80s. Inside of the Coliseum Mall on 165th and Jamaica Avenue you can find a store for everybodies preference in sneakers. There is a wide selection of kickz from Nike, Reebok, Adidas and even down to DCs and Vans. What I like about Moes is that they are ahead of most small boutiques and keep up with the boutiques in SoHo. You will be able to stay local and pick up sneakers that the rest of your neighborhood has not seen yet.
Secret Society, another mom and pop shop located in Elmhurst, Queens is well worth the travel. With a wide selection in SBs and premium Air Force 1s, you cant go wrong. Just recently S.S. opened up its clothing store located right next door. The store does not just carry their own products, they have a wide selection in Reason, 10 Deep and Red Clay.
Goliath, a harlem based store, located on the upper east side is just a train ride away from SoHo. The uptown 6 to 103rd and a walk of two blocks to 105th. This shop is well organized and has a wide selection in 10 Deep and Diamond Supply Co. They also have their own brand with crew-necks, hoodies and tee shirts. One of their shirts says "Do The Harlem Thing" and I must admit, Goliath is really "Doing the Harlem Thing".
