The best streetwear stores in Singapore for all you hypebeasts and hypebaes

Going to a shoe store doesn't always have to be about shopping for your next pair of sneaks. At Foot Locker in Jewel Changi Airport, you can shop in the largest outlet in Singapore and also enjoy a few extra perks in the store. Ladies can take a breather from retail therapy and get a manicure in-store before snapping a couple of selfies at the selfie mirror. On the first floor you can squeeze in a gaming sesh at the Xbox arena. When it comes to celebrating sneaker culture, no one does it better than Foot Locker – it's not just about the shoes, it's a lifestyle. 

If your hypebeast aesthetics include loud colors, gaudy fonts and stamps of labels from head to toe, then you're at the right store. This multi-label store is a chock-full of quirky, eclectic items from upscale and contemporary brands like Freitag, Fjallraven, Boy London, Dr. Denim, Lazy Oaf and Spitfire. Cop everything from apparel and trainers to bumbags and bucket hats.

All the cool kids frequent this massive multi-label retail space and concept store in Dempsey. The brainchild of Rei Kawakubo, well-known style icon and founder of Japanese fashion label Comme des Garçons (CDG), Dover Street Market Singapore stocks cult brands such as Anti Social Social Club, Alyx and Vetements. Housed in a converted army barracks with black cage-like grills as racks and a colourful ‘cashier’ hut – you’d be forgiven if you mistake it for an art gallery.

Two words: posh trainers. For exclusive collaborations and high-end footwear from designer brands like Balenciaga and Stella McCartney, as well as Fenty x Puma, you can expect it all to be stocked here. The store is also laid out in a way where you're made to explore the different zones and take in everything. Talk about experiential shopping in its purest form!

Locally owned Surrender is the top choice among tastemakers here. This hipper-than-thou store stocks a slew of obscure brands including Denim by Vanquish and Fragment, Mindseeker, Readymade and A-Cold-Wall among others, making this quiet boutique a heavy-hitter in the youth culture scene. The store gives off the air of ‘look-but-don’t-touch’ – but spend enough time browsing its racks and you’ll discover gems.
