    Very impressed with the store...the overall set-up is very nice. Just like most other boutiques, there is no large sign of anything, so it may be very easy to pass. I actually couldn't find it at first, and then saw two guys at the local restaurant with Commonwealth bags, so we played a bit of sign language through the mirror...lol. But, you won't be disappointed. As far as clothing brands go, there was Stussy, UNDFTD, aNYthing, 10Deep, Supreme, BBC/Ice Cream, Maharishi, Prps, and I think some Kaws. The footwear selection was wonderful as expected. Actually, when I got in, there was still a pair of Commonwealth Pumps left. The Union 97 and Footpatrol 90 hybrids were obviously ate up, but they had most of the rest of the pack left. Great store, and with every purchase of a certain amount you get a FREE Commonwealth T-Shirt!

    Checked out Commonwealth and would like to say job well done. Folks were nice and helpful. The gear was definitely in. The only thing I wasn't feeling like others have sayed was the unfinished look. They should've gone all out on this one. Some brands that weren't mention that they carried was Original Fake and Absurd.

    ^Get out at Florida Avenue then make sure you take one of those Metro bus passes and make sure you have .35 cents ready to take the bus North. Go until you're at 18th street, Cmonwealth will be on the right. You can't miss it.

    Yeah they are pumps.
    Not sure what sizes they had, but only a few.
    They sold out of whatever they had the first day.
    I know someone thats selling a pair of the grey ones in 9 if youre interested.

    If anyone has the black one like in the picture in a size 7.5 or 8, I'll pay good money for them. That pic you took sold them for me.

    "Rockdeep"

    Those are the infamous "middle finger" picture joint I had up last year, lol.

    They came in a "757 sea blue," black, and this jive pink colorway.

    I got rid of mine, because the upper shapes funny after a few wears.

    any Commonwealth DC updates? I know i can just check the site, but an in store update from someone is much more efficient. Thanks!
