Dubai’s Coolest Streetwear Boutiques, Sneaker Shops, and Concept Stores
There’s no denying that the streetwear and sneakerhead community in Dubai has been steadily growing over the past few years. Thanks to events like Sole DXB, Dubai has become arguably one of the world’s greatest shopping capitals. If you are in town and looking for a dope store to visit, we’ve got you covered with the city’s best below.
Amongst Few
streetwear
Amongst Few isn’t just a retail boutique. It also includes a cafe (where you might spot a fashion influencer sipping on a cuppa), a barbershop, and a private recording and production studio for friends of the brand and invited guests. The store is beautiful with unfinished concrete contrasted with wood and a tropical touch of baby palm trees.
Presentedby x Level
Presentedby is a multi-sensory shopping experience, housing some of the rarest sneakers and collectables that are available in the emirate. A fusion of cutting-edge technology and culture, the store has interactive screens on its walls and floors, a far cry from the other stores in the touristy shopping haven, The Dubai Mall.
Concepts
Concepts carries a huge variety of brands, including apparel and sneakers for your kids (if you have any). The store has a minimal urban vibe with a largely cool-grey interior. Let’s not forget the trippy ball pit below the glass floors.
Frame
You may know this store from the Habibi Dunk Low sneaker, which is a Frame x Nike SB collaboration that was released in 2020. Located in Dubai Design District, Frame consists of a retail shop, workspace, and a cafe that serves one of the best matcha in town (trust us with this one). This store stocks a curated selection of international and Japanese brands including Junya Watanabe and Comme des Garçons. In addition to a few collectables like Medicom Toys, this store also sells lifestyle accessories such as perfumes, home decor, and skateboard decks.
Mad Kicks
Have you ever taken an L with a sneaker drop that you really wanted? Chances are you have just like the rest of us. We suggest checking out reputable secondary market shops such as Mad Kicks. The store is stacked with sneakers as well as rare collectibles by Supreme. Guaranteed authenticity and totally brand new, unworn pieces? We’re sold.
The Good Life
Situated in Alserkal Avenue, The Good Life hosts your favourite streetwear brands including Adidas, Nike, New Balance, and Y3. The boutique also runs limited-edition exclusive drops including the hyped collaboration between Adidas and Sean Wotherspoon in the past. Besides sneakers, the multi-brand store also sells apparel and accessories.
