We take a look at the newly build Commissary San Diego store. It came out pretty much like we would have imagined it. Just like the previous location and the other store, this one is pretty dark. But when others are more simplistic, the new San Diego store has more of a rock feeling to it, mainly due to the red carpet and the furniture, which was inspired by the tour equipment boxes.

Rumors had been floating around for months and then a few weeks ago the opening of a new San Francisco flagship store was finally announced by The Hundreds. The store opened its doors today. We are actually quite surprised by the interior design of the store, which is less simplistic than their first store in Los Angeles. But what they both have in common, is the overall dark atmosphere.

Take a close look at it after the jump, they had quite some interesting ideas for their new location.
