One Block Down

Duomo & San Babila


This store is a temple for streetwear lovers started by a group of self-confessed sneaker freaks. A curated wall of sneakers goes all the way up to its high ceilings; there's clothing from Palace and Adidas, plus a selection of edgy magazines. If you're suffering from sneaker overload, take a quick break in the health food–focused in-store cafe, Flavours.
