There is nothing more recognizably NYC than hot dog stands, “showtime” subway performances, and bodegas. In the past couple of years, we’ve seen the trend of brands creating their own pop-up bodega to showcase their products. The juxtaposition of mixing high-end designs with the humble corner store aesthetic breeds an authentic and effective experience. Kith takes over a Carrol Garden’s corner store bodega to launch their collab with Kith Treats x Cheerios for one day only.
A new norm for the universal standard

My trip to Adidas. The store Nike would have built in the past.
This season, thanks to the Nike running store in the Flat Iron district, I've been happily sporting a few pairs of Nike's and I've made a few satisfying trips to that location where I first noticed Nike's new commitment to service. So, when I read about the new Soho flagship I was so excited to get over to see this new breed of Nike stores.
