Probably a few people from Van on here, surprised there isn't a Vancouver thread.



Good time to start one.




Stores




Livestock-Gastown

Tier 0 Account. They get a ton of good stuff.

I think most of the old core employees moved out to Toronto as I haven't seen them around much. 

Store's good, often a little pricier than normal (Playoffs are $220 there, while at Nike they're $200)

239 abbott st (gastown)
Vancouver, BC V6B 2K7

There is another location in town that seems to have been turned into a "clearance center." The staff half the time can't even be bothered to say hi in there. Everything is on discount it seems too. Sometimes a gem, but mostly old DS stuff that no one really wanted.

Dipt.

Pretty good shop, they get some of the more well known stuff that Livestock doesn't carry anymore (undfeated, Mishka etc)

Best Af1 collection around

Staff are generally nice and selection is good but limited.

Nice, Good stuff man. There are a few people from Vancouver here, although Canada forums is pretty dead overall.

1+ for your Avy.

Thanks, figured it was probably needed in here.

Wish more folks from Van would post, I get tired of checking store stock all the time, would be nice if we had a list or something.

Too many stores, no outlets and only a couple good sneaker hookups, all too far apart and hard to get to frequently to see what stock they've got.

dipt is a great store. they have a great selection of new era hats, g-shock watches, sunglasses and accessories. they also carry some exclusive nike/jordan shoes. the owner is a really cool guy. he's very in-touch with the community and is knowledgeable about his stuff and clientele.


el kartel carries your usual brand names. they don't have the most high-end stuff, but they do have a nice few things. they appeal more to the average person. their prices are more down to earth.


underworld has a wide selection of skate and urban brands. they also carry nike sb

El Kartel does carry some higher end stuff, theyre the only place to go if you want some of the better New Balances and Upper Playground stuff. Dipt and Livestock don't get most of the New Balance stuff (if any).

Holla!

What part of town you in Fog?

I'm in the east side near 1st ave.

would you be interested in passing on stock info when you stop by stores? Places are pretty annoying to get to and we don't get all the good releases in one place.

Just checked into livestock today, same ol' stuff that they have on the website. They're expecting the brazilian Football team air max 90's though. They have the obsidian lunar max ACG's too, not on the website. Might be picking those up after this weekend. I want the denin airmax too.
excited on that.

livestock followed by a night at the irish heather for st' paty's goooood night.
