You gotta be pretty o.g. to remember Triple Five Soul back in its Lower East Side days. Besides being a precursor to streetwear, the Triple Five boutique kind of laid the tracks for men’s retail with attitude. Like, it wouldn’t shock me to discover that prior to opening Supreme, some of its founders put in time in the early 90s selling tees at Triple Five.
Anyway, a LOT–as many of you know–has changed since then–some for the better, some for the worse, and the staff at Triple Five on Lafayette now are very sweet (their neighbors down the block, however, still pride themselves on being total a-holes). And they’re also offering a lot more footwear selections for women. Here’s a couple that we especially liked:

^^Delancey: high-top, weird heel, mostly white, name references geographical roots of Triple Five, all of which adds up to….you know we like!

^^Midwood: I don’t like this one as much, but not everyone is on the hightop bandwagon.
p.s. The shoes as of now are not on TripleFive’s site, but I’m guessing they will be soon.
Ciao!
