They're boutiques in Wicker Park/Bucktown. I've only been to Penelope's and they apparently used to carry apc denim, now just clothing, but still very nice store and very nice and helpful employees.

Also there is another Tony's Sports under the redline at Sheridan, don't know the address, but... That and as I'm sure you know, the other Untitled at 1941 W. North Ave.
 
When I go on Wednesday of this week, I'll only have time to hit spots in Wicker Park, so would this be a good lineup (in order):
City Sports - 1200 N. Milwaukee Ave - 773 235-9920
Dianas Shoes - 1253 N. Milwaukee Ave - 773 486-0802 (also a Footaction & Footlocker on the same block)
Tonys Sports (outlet) - 1321 N. Milwaukee - 773 276-2127
Sports City - 1372 N. Milwaukee - 773 276-0585
Softcore - 1420 N. Milwaukee Ave - 773 276-7616
Hejfina - 1529 N. Milwaukee Ave. - 773 772-0002
Saint Alfred - 1531 N. Milwaukee Ave - 773 486-7159

I would also love to go to Synx or Phli, but I simply won't have time. I am going to start my day on the Miracle Mile, so I'll be able to get in Niketown over there.

ANYBODY HAVE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE AURORA/NAPERVILLE AREA?
WANTED OG AQUA VIII BOX SIZE 15!

 
Any of these spots hiring? Im gonna move to Chicago to finish on my documentary. I gotta have some funds.
 
yeah for some reason i couldnt find info on p&j's so i left that up to someone else to list. also the snyx location on madison and pulaski...anybody got the address and number? theres a bunch of other spots in that area out west for those that wanna risk goin out there.

obviously, theres a grip of city sports scattered all over, but i found that the one on division/milwaukee is the best one...so i listed that one. i havent been to river oaks and ford city in YEARS, so i didnt bother mentioning as certified spots to hit up.

as far as the suburbs, i left em out but theres north riverside in berwyn/riverside, woodfield in schaumburg, fox valley and premium outlets in aurora, old orchard in skokie, oak brook mall in oakbrook, and yorktown in lombard. also the premium outlets up in kenosha wisconsin, which is about 45 min north of the city. all places vary in sneaker spot options.

dartmouth football - nothin really out that ways in aurora/naperville except fox valley mall and the premium outlets. jeric's skate shop in joliet has an sb account, so ive heard. never been there.

*edit* forgot the j bees howard&clark location (real close to p&js)
J Bees Sports - 321 W. Howard St - 847 424-8710

The premium outlets in aurora have an adidas outlet. I was there yesterday and they have a lot of interesting stuff. the nike outlett was ok. had some premium low dunks that were beige suede with almost a camo loke print on the toebox. Lot's of astonish, leathals, some sb delta forces. etc.


EDIT** I just remembered. the nike outlet in aurora had Foamposite total max's in like a brown color. and I think they were under 50bucks.
 
all of these spots listed are top notch spots Athletes foot on 79th & cottage grove also Athletes foot on 87&kimbark are good places to get kicks from both have nice selections and get all the goods on the shoe side
 
^ yeah i got cousins in the basement sewin up hybrids. concord upper on a neon 95 outsole? i got u.

torey u got pm
[/b]
 
^ they demolished the building it was in for some El renovation of that the belmont stop... its suppose to be moving down the street east i think, but i don't know when.
 
^If your in Vernon Hills, you can hit up the Nike Outlet at Gurnee Mills, it's not too far from there.
 
I'm from the south and I'm probably going to Chicago in the Middle of July. Besides going to all the shoe stores and Niketown, I'm thinking about buying a jersey. Any places in Chi-town that sells authentic or throwback jerseys? thanks!
