While we have already presented guides for Shibuya and Harajuku, there is a lot happening in between the two areas, which we explore in the next chapter of our Tokyo shopping guide.

You can easily walk from Shibuya to Harajuku, as the two are connected and only one train stop away from each other. Some places are easier to find than others, but there are so many great shopping areas in the city to explore and we would not want to miss a single one of them.

Check out our store checks that we did on the edges of the two shopping districts, featuring some retailers that you have already heard about many times here on Highsnobiety.

The full review after the jump.

Sounds Good is a label and store concept by United Arrows. Recently their new Shibuya store opened its doors. Next to its own collection, the store also presents a variety of other sportswear brands, including the new Nike Sportswear collection, as well as other high end lines from all major sportswear companies.
As usual, the Japanese store looks great. For the opening they exhibited a couple of sculptures made up of Nike sneakers. Pics via Detz Matsuda/Yoshikage Kajiwara.
Many more images of the new Sounds Good Shibuya Store follow after the jump.

The best US retail spots continue to be exported to Japan. We saw it happening since years with Supreme and Stussy and in recent years Undefeated, FTC, Flightclub and others also made the move to Tokyo. Now it was the time for Alife to open their first location there. After New York, Los Angeles and Vancouver, this marks the opening of the 4th Alife flagship store.
The new Alife Tokyo Flagship store is now open. In terms of interior design they took a different approach from their other stores and created a sleek interior made up of black colors and wooden floors.
