Store Profile: Ubiq, Philadelphia
A very LONG while I said I would do store profile’s on the sneaker and clothing stores I see over here. This is the first instalment hopefully of many where y’all can see the places I window shop at.
The first store I’m introducing you all to is UBIQ.
Situated in the heart of Phiadelphia on Walnut Street, they are the only store in Philadelphia to carry a Tier 0 account with Nike SB, Nike, Palladium Boots as well as stocking a range clothing and accessories from brands such as: The Hundreds, Stussy, 1o Deep and Original Fake.
What I really like about UBIQ is the decor, it’s not your usual sneaker store as its modern and sleek look definitely gives it boutique status. The store has the look of a gallery and the sneakers are the masterpieces on the wall. The bright bulb lights on the ceiling highlight every stitch, colour and detail of the sneakers.
Walk into the back and you have the clothing and apparel section or the extended sale section on the day I went. Again the decor shines through with mahogany shelves that hang jumpers and jackets from The Hundreds, Original Fake, and Nike – my favourite being the Nike M-65 jacket, unfortunately not in the sale.
I mentioned that Ubiq to me was like a gallery and I was true in every sense as upstairs is where TKP Gallery currently resides. I came across the work at TKP Gallery before at an event called October Gallery, the artist in question was heavily influenced by hip-hop, graffiti and pop.
Enjoy!
Looks like a very slick shop indeed babes. It make me wish there were more shops like this over this side of the water
. I like the window shop bit lol. Diz X
Fantastic photos. Only you could have found such a shop. Ubiq visual merchandise, its layout and decor screams out to the naked eye, “CLASS”. Your discover and store profile is amazing your passion and appreciation of the art of Sneakers and Urban clothing culture holds no limits.
Keep up the fantastic work, Marilyn xx
