Yorkville Update

So this past Monday, I was in the Yorkville area doing some shopping. I'm back to give you a little update with what's happening with some of the stores I visited.

Capsule was the first store I visited. I loved it. Not only do they have authentic streetwear and sneakers, but they have everything priced very nicely. Sneakers that caught my attention were the Jordan 4/19 pack, Jordan 6 Olympic Model, very nice collection of Nike rarities and Nike SBs. They had a full section, two sale racks, of t-shirts and some polos that were 2 for $40, including brands like Freshjive, 10Deep, In4mation, N4E1, 3sixteen, Triumvir, X-Large, Crooks&Castles, Quolomo, Kno1edge, Fucking Awesome, and Fuct. Their regular priced t-shirts involved all of the mentioned brands as well as Rogue Status, aNYthing, Stabs, Kiks Tyo and Six Pack France. As far as I remember their apparel was limited to just t-shirts. They also had Know1edge backpacks, Kiks Tyo G-shock watches, and other little accessories. The boutique itself was very nice, with a clean white smooth theme, t-shirts evenly spread out along the shelves, and shoes neatly shelved. Definitely on my list of regulars to visit, probably my favourite store right now












North Trooper one store down from Capsule. Its clothing selection was not as large carrying The Quiet Life and other similar brands. It had a small collection of shoes. Notable sneaker was definitely the BE TRUE dunks a yellow pair and multi-coloured pair, priced at $200 with a 10% discount. But still more expensive then what Livestock is currently offering ($125). Still a boutique thats worth a look.
























Uncle Otis was a great stop, and they were having a sale on almost everything. Merchandise that I remember include Alife's Krink tee and a Reigning Champ v-neck for $20, some Stussy t-shirts for $25, a Stussy Hoodie for $50, a 13" white Gravis laptop sleeve for $20, and a nice pair of Vans Vault authentics (pink and green with the monkeys on them) for $45, they had a size 10 left. The other stock included a nice collection of Stussy t-shirts for $40 along with all the other pieces in the collection including Hoodies, Shorts, Jeans, and even a towel. They had other Vans Vault selections, Ben Sherman, Campus, and Maharishi on sale, some Red Wing boots, shades from Stussy and Mosley Tribes, and a very nice selection of Levi's denim. Definitely worth a look right now.



















































Goodfoot Yorkville was another place I stopped. Its at the intersection of Bay and Bloor, on the west side of Bay I think. They had a nice set-up for their Adidas colab along with the other sneakers in the aZX collection. They also had a very nice selection of Visvims, some apparel from Ransom and Goodfoot, along with the usual Nikes, Adidas, Reeboks, and Pumas. I do have to warn that their shoes do run more expensive than any other store in Toronto.




































Holt Renfrew was another place I stopped. They apparently carry the likes of A.P.C., Filippa K, Robert Geller, and etc. They also had a rack of $49 Cheap Mondays. Worth a look, but Nomad would probably be an easier stop if your looking for the high end stuff.

Nike Toronto was a stop that I just had to make. They had some interesting sneakers there, including some rare gems along with a full collection of Nike 6.0 clothing, shoes and even backpacks. An interesting find that I did make were the Nike Olympic Dunks that I had talked about previously. These were only dropped in very limited boutiques. But I guess Nike gives its stores special treatment, so you can pick those up for around $189.
