Sup, bros. I leave to Tokyo tomorrow and I had almost forgotten to ask my brethren what they think I should do out there and what sneakers spots I need to check out besides Atmos. Hit me up with some suggestions.
 
You gotta bring me back some of those crazy candy and chocolate bars I always see like flavored kit kat :D
 
I want to go to Japan one day

I dont know any of the sneaker spots, but enjoy drinking in roppongi, one hot club is ferria.

Odaiba has the big gundam, harajuku
 
You won't really find any deals. If anything it's more expensive out there.

You will be able to find rarer kicks though.

Not sure if it's culturally accepted in Japan, but haggle your *** off.






But seriously. Spend less time on clothes/sneakers and more time in the city, hitting up food, cultural stuff, historical landmarks, etc ...
 
Spent some time in Tokyo a few years back (bucket list vacation)

There is a big sneaker/jordan scene but you'll have to look.

Shibuya has a nice niche area about a mile east from the main crosswalk (biggest crosswalk/intersection in the world)

Just google where the Bape store is and you'll find it - it's rows after rows of sneaker shops but there are NO deals!!

Everything is more expensive even with the yen doing better right now

but on the real -- hit up the Hatchiko meeting square outside of Shibuya station and then cross the intersection - just to say you did...it's mad fun...

Hit up Akihabara for some retro video game goodness and some amazing food (curry shops all over the place)

hit up Shinjiku for shopping and a decent fashion trip.

I lucked out hard. My friend's family lives in Roppongi.

I went to Harajuku. I found the Supreme, Stussy, Undefeated stores, as well as a lot of consignment stores. Kicks Lab is out here. Crazy nice.
 
K skit is a must! In my opinion a sneaker head land mark It's a bit hard to find but really near the train station. First time I went I had to ask many people how to get there but completely worth it. They also have a website that has there current stock online however there always bringing out material on the daily. If your in the area try pepper lunch there's a few here and there but it's good steak for under $10
Also there's a small street on harajuku down Take****a street.
Oh and go to womb lol
If you have any questions about tokyo. Let me know I love that place

depending on the type of kit kat u want there are some Asian groceries here in the us that sells em. Around my way there's a couple that I know that sells em here.
 
You can go to any don Quixote store for kit kats and other great off the wall souvenirs. I bought a remote control toilet there once lol. Look for a giant blue penguin in the front of the store
