Trendsetters Apparel

Pretty fly sneaker and urban streetwear boutique with a nice atmosphere and chill owner. They take sneakers on consignment, which means what they have on display is normally what they have in the specific model, period. So you may find a pair of Jordans you really like but expect them to only be in that one size, not a whole array of sizes as would a typical shoe or sports store. Their prices are competitive for the market they serve, meaning you would pay the same for the same sneakers in Atlanta or NYC or where-​ever else. The store is new and the owner told me he did most of the shelves and other interior construction himself – it’s clear he really loves his business and he’s also bringing to Tampa – which is a very large metro area – the only store of this type.
Aside from the coveted sneakers, he also has a variety of streetwear brands. Some are pretty unique while others like BLVD are not uncommon. It would be great if he could get some rarer brands in here, like Bianca Chandon, but what he has is pretty interesting. More tees would also be good because his current collection seems heavy on joggers and tee-​like but overly thick pull-​over shirts. At least that’s what I’d ideally like to see more of, but he’s got a great store going as it is.

If you’re a sneakerhead, this is the joint for you to pick up some fresh kicks. Don’t know what a sneakerhead is?
n. sneakerhead
1. A person who collects limited, rare, O.G., or flat out exclusive kicks. Usually the collection consists of Jordans or Dunks.
2. A person with background knowledge of certain sneakers. who throws around terms like «dead stock» and «general release.»
If you still don’t know what any of this means, then this ain’t the spot for you.
We busted up in here Friday night, and my son who is a sneakerhead, marveled over their collection of rare kicks, specifically some pair of hard-​to-​find Adidas. I saw a pair of Jordans that were from when I was in 8^th grade. Only $ 280. Though at that price, they were probably reproductions. Overall, the collection was pretty impressive. This is a niche market, and currently they’re the only folks doing it.
They also have a ton of hats, shirts and interesting socks.
Overall, pretty interesting place.
