Boasting an impressive selection of Japanese street labels and Western brands, hypebeast brands like Supreme and Champion are MUCH cheaper than what you’ll usually find in their regular brick and mortar. By that, we mean a staggering 60% – 80% lower than retail prices, dependant on the brand and quality of the piece.

An affordable option in the fashion scene, the brick and mortar showcases edgy streetwear styles like puffer jackets, puffers, and the classic overalls. Tilted more towards an urban Japanese direction, this “Uniqlo 2.0” is much trendier, hipper and certainly price friendly for all ages.
