TMD Seoul Sneaker Store Guide
Just back from Seoul, South Korea, it was a DAEBAK trip and experience!
Since we walked into almost all sneaker stores in Seoul tourist hotspot when we chanced upon one, I would like to compile them for archive and hopefully help you in shopping your sneaker(s) in Seoul.
This is to anyone, and these are based on my personal experience.
If you chanced upon better sneakers store, good for you man!
Wooden exterior entrance, it's on the main street so you can hardly miss it.
Head up to level 3 for tech pack stuffs. Lv 1- Women Lv 2- Men Lv3 -Lifestyle
They have sock darts, roshe 2, roshe flyknit there. (Oct 2016)
Biggest flagship store of Seoul (as what I've seen)
Head to basement 1 for the common release of all nike flyknit, nike airmax, nike sockdart, jordans.
I entered from the back, walking from Gangnam station exit 12, which look like >
Seems like they are another authorized seller, sneakers that are not similar in flagship store. (oh, i went to look it up, it's called Capo Sports Nike)
Saw a B/W Nike air presto on discount but damn, didn't hoot it.
Just beside the awesome Dong Dae Mun Design Plaza (DDP)
It's located at the main street that you will not miss.Head straight up to level 4 for adidas originals. Take the lift in the back. Nothing exclusive though. Don't have your hopes too high.
Totally own the sneaker zone in Myeong Dong. Buy your NMD here!! So did I. I didn't took any photos to show you guys, and I can't seem to find a decent photo but it is just opposite SPAO in Myeong dong street!!
Chanced it accidentally while walking to Garousil. They had the Adidas x HU (Pharrell collab) ON DISPLAY. The store guy strongly said display are not for sale. dam it.
Folder is pretty big, with many wide varieties. The most faansicating brand I found was the alpha industries bomber jacket! If you like korean street brand, you are pretty sure to find some of them here, like STEREO (which is so dope).
You can almost spot them everywhere, like in Myeong Dong, Gangnam and most shopping center basement like Doota mall in DDM. The above photo was taken at the COEX mall, this is the grand stage, and the other one opposite was sports. It is more of a lifestyle vs. sports category.
They are like ABC Mart(imo), but have quite afew selected area. Myeong Dong have one. The mall right outside of Hapjeong station (exit 9/10) have one(where our airbnb stay was at)too.
I've got high hopes that I will find some exclusive sneakers but they seems like it is quite a standard issue sneakers list. Perhaps I didn't look hard enough. There is one at Myeong Dong along the main street and another in a level 4 mall at Myeong Dong too.
They have got the dopest sneakers collections there. Saw adidas ultraboost uncaged, Adidas tubular Doom, Viral, etc. They even had yeezys in display boxes. Of course, its' not for sale. It is just right beside Nike SNKRS in Hongdae.
Just a shout out cause they have pro-keds, diadora, timberlands and admiral sneakers to mention. You can found them in COEX mall or Commongrounds.
Nike SNKRS Hongdae
This deserve a special mention. I didn't went in but it's cool as hell. Damn it, I should have went into it! Well, if you passed by, make sure to go in! FML.

78, Wausan-ro, Mapo-gu, Seoul / 2016
Paju Premium Outlet
There is a pretty dope Nike Factory Outlet and a just average Adidas Premium outlet there. Take bus 2200 from Hapjeong station(exit 8) which took about 1 hr bus ride to there.
Boon the shop Men
It's a separate building right round the corner from the flagship building, boontheshop. Designer labels and high fashion. Saw an Yeezy crepe boots in there. It's 3 storey, with a basement. If you are a high-roller, you will definitely get the best service.
That's it guys, have fun snkrs hunting in Seoul!
