Over the last couple of months we have kept you posted on the renovations at famous Parisian concept store Colette. The store worked together with Wonderwall on the redesign, the same architects that are also responsible for all Bape stores worldwide, some Uniqlo stores, the Original Fake store in Tokyo and many other incredible retail outlets around the globe. Thus we had of course big expectations.
In the matter of less than two months they changed the entire store and created something amazing. The sneaker section moved to the ground floor and has become a massive glass sneaker wall. Also they introduce the Tee Box, a large box made out of glass and metal, housing all t-shirts of the store. The Tee Box is also located at the ground floor. Furthermore Colette introduces shop in shops of Original Fake, Bape, Alife as well as BBC/Ice Cream. The Original Fake and Bape sections you can see on the image here above.
Overall the store has been cleaned up and appears much more structured than before. The water bar also got renovated and now has more of a restaurant feel to it than before. Accessories are being presented in free hanging boxes, that are also equipped with light. The magazine section grew in size and is also more organized, just like the Beauty section of the store. On the first floor you still find the gallery, as well as the haute couture brands.

What can we say? Mind-blowing. How can one store do this much? The new design is clean, sleek and displays much better and more efficiently all categories of product that Colette represents and sells. Also it seems like the new interior is much more efficient, allowing Colette to display overall much more product. The amount of sneakers and t-shirts now present, would have been almost un-imaginable in the old interior.

Bottom line, get on a plane, or hop on the train, and check out the new and renovated Colette store live, pictures can only say so much.
We have lots more images of the newly renovated Colette Paris store after the jump.

An era has come to an end. The Stussy NYC Chapter Store on Wooster Street is now closed. After 10 years at this location, the lease is up and they will not be re-opening this store. 10 Years ago, Stussy made a bold move coming to New York and they succeeded. The store remained since then on our list of shops to visit on every NYC trip. 
For now you can purchase Stussy, as well as Porter, at Union on Spring Street. Also the good news are, that there will be a new Stussy Chapter Store in the area, just not at the same location. We’ll keep you posted!

While New York’s Mercer Street is the only place being blessed with a full fledged Nike Sportswear shop, cities across the globe are getting their own taste of the line. We’ve shown you a few places and now can present the set up in London. (Thanks to Joes(a)fiend).
Located in Shoreditch, the location takes an old gymnasium feel. But, that is just one half. The other side is a futuristic neon and black space. Merging tradition and future inspiration and innovation. In essence, the Nike Sportswear mission. 
Beyond the inspired interior design, London’s MODE 2 provided a few 20ft high murals of British Olympians, including the amazing Paula Radcliff.
Check those out and some interior views after the jump.

Yesterday we showed you first images of the new Nike Sportswear flagship store at 21 Mercer in Soho. Today we give you a look at the exclusive product that will be releasing at the store on its opening on August 22nd.
On the 22nd of August you will see the release of the Nike Air Force 1 Lux, coming in overall 12 colorways and only at the new flagship store. The REjuven8, a model that we introduced to you earlier this year, will also be coming in a nice line-up of colors, along with the new Lunar Racer, sporting the new Nike Flywire technology. Last but not least Nike will be releasing a technical M-65 patchwork jacket. The M-65 jacket is a true classic of military design. Updated and re-imagined as part of the NSW collection, it is produced from a highly functional three layer laminate waterproof breathable nylon. Each jacket comes with a different patwork layout and is thus unique.
If we did not give you enough reasons to pass by the new store, then we do not know what else to do!
After the jump detailed images of the other product.

With anticipation many have been waiting for the new Silly Thing store in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong collective has made big moves this past year and their product is finally also available in a couple of international doors, including Colette and The Hideout.
Today we can finally show you first images of the Silly Thing store, which will be opening its doors on August 16th. The store looks as expected amazing. We would call the interior design a "modern chalet" style, as they used a lot of natural woods and mixed it with modern lamps and design details.
Have a detailed look at the soon to open Silly Thing store after the jump.

The buzz around Nike Sportswear does not seem to stop any time soon. This past Friday the Berlin 080808 store also opened its doors in the heart of Berlin Mitte. Across the street from Nort Berlin (on Muenzstrasse in the backyard is the entrance), you find the new Nike Sportswear pop-up store, which strikes with great interior design and of course special products, most of which we have presented in the last couple of months. The location is split into a store area and a gallery area. Last but not least you find Nike iD stations to design your own shoes, as well.
The opening last Friday was a great success, with lots of people rolling through. Have a look at the new store and make sure to visit on your next Berlin trip.
More pictures to follow after the jump.

This past weekend, the New Era Flagship Store Berlin opened its doors. With 250 sqm in size, this marks the biggest New Era store to open its doors. Located in the heart of Berlin Mitte, New Era chose a prime location to invade the German market, which is still at a young stage for fitted caps.
The New Era Store Berlin goes over 2 floors and offers of course all sorts of caps that you can imagine, but also clothing and special limited edition product. A while ago we presented you some of the opening specials of the store. Pics via Artschoolvets.

Last week saw the opening of the new 14 oz. store in Berlin. Right in the heart ofBerlin Mitte, close to other favorites of ours such as A.P.C., Nort and Firmament, the new store opened. 
14 oz. already existed in Cologne from 1999-2003 and then the founder moved on to start the Bread & Butter tradeshow. Now he has decided to re-open it, but in Berlin. 14 oz. as you might have guessed by the name already, specializes in denim and carries brands such as Earnest Sewn, Atelier LaDurance, Levi’s, Wrangler and many others. They also carry other great brands including Dunderdon and Steven Alan.
Bottom line, it is definitely worth a visit on your next Berlin trip.
