Get Your Garage On

— Tue, 15th July 2008 —

Urbanite just happened to stumble upon an unmarked garage space in Williamsburg, which is presently home to a very temporary warehouse outpost for Lafayette Street sneaker aficionado Recon/NORT. [Urbanite via Racked]

The store’s signature limited-edition Nikes are on sale for $40; T’s are just $10; etc.

When Tipsters Attack

— Mon, 14th July 2008 —


Remember that thing that we told you that Racked told us that a tipster told them? Well, it was true. Menswear boutique Sean is moving from 132 Thompson to 199 Prince, and, as a result, is now taking 80% off (!!!) most of its in-store stock until August. [Racked]

Sean is New York’s de facto outlet for Emile Lafaurie — a modestly-priced French-made cross between Ralph Lauren and Paul Smith.

Got Change?

— Mon, 14th July 2008 —

Swedish-born label Acne is taking 50% it in store stock, and 60% off online stock. With customs tax it works out to be about the same discount, however, and it’s best to know how this stuff fits before ordering anything.

Online, you’ve got:

• Slim fit jeans down from $350 to $140
• Classic cotton sweatshirts down from $225 to $90
• Slim fit green jeans down from $270 to $100
• ‘20s-style summer blazers down from $570 to $230
• Double-breasted linen jackets down for $690 to $275

Come Monday, Oak is taking a full 40% off its summer stock of up-and-coming and established designers, at which point you can either go, wait until next Monday — when it’s taking another 10% off — or not go at all. [Refinery29]

If you’re ready to walk on the wild side, check out this knit back blazer by Opening Ceremony for just $262:



Oh, then there’s:

• Tatami classic oxfords for $175
• Frye tan short lace boots for $129
