What do you like? I mean you could go to the big name spots like Supreme and UNDFTD, or you could go somewhere else... It all depends on what you want. Like are you looking for clothes, kicks, SBs, higher end brands or just cool tees or what?..
I personally reccomend Brooklyn Projects in Echo Park, I went last weekend and their stock was the most impressive of any store ive been to in the last year (not for shoes though).

[gabe26]

yeah some clothes cool tees and tops - maybe some SBs but primerely clothing.

So Brooklyn Projects - do they have a website ?

[zeon33]

yeah brooklyn projects has a website:
http://www.brooklynprojects.com/contents.html

its right by brooklyn projects and they got cool stuff.
thats the store that made me get into urban style.

...it looks like you were shopping before the stores opened.

Anyways, if you can't find anything at Heavy Hitters, Advantis Ride, The Temple of Boom, Workmens, Fat Beats, Barracuda or Brooklyn Projects, perhaps you should go east and head down La Brea to Union, Stussy, Undefeated, Volcom and American Rag---or go west and down Fairfax to Turntablelab and Supreme.

Silverlake's got Kicks Sole Provider, Eat Well, Xlarge, Wacko and Giant Robot; Echo Park's got the Anti-Market, Han Cholo, American Apparel and Brooklyn Projects East; Santa Monica's got Undefeated, Fred Segal, Horizon's West and other mom and pop shops; And Pasadena's got Grey One (and Neo39 which bridges the gap between Footlocker and sneaker boutiques), while Long Beach has Proper.

For what it's worth, addresses/phone numbers/websites/and reviews of Los Angeles-area sneaker shops can be found here:http://www.morelworks.com/la/sneakers.html

And if none of these spots have what you're looking for, perhaps you should list all the "dope" Vancouver spots so we can get a better idea of what you're looking for. Thanks for visiting Los Angeles. We hope you enjoy your stay.

Barracuda is ill for nike hoodies.

[gabe26]

I really like the La Brea and Uniion area shops – also Santa Monica’s Fred Siegel is dope – where is Undefeated? couldn’t find it.

Hmm what Vancouver has to offer ? Lets see – Livestock, Complex, El Cartel, Headquarter, Paul’s Boutique, Ray Rickburn, Brooklyn Clothing this is what I can come right now

i'm in LA for a couple of days for a funeral its not exactly a nice vacation, but i want to be able to see a bit of the city before i leave

since i wont have much time to see the city, but if i were to visit some shops/areas, what would be definetly be worth visiting? I'd rather hit up an area that has several nice stores to hit up, instead of driving all the way up to see just one store.

I think there's some good stuff in West hollywood? Need more info, would appreciate any help from locals

I would say Union, the new Union is fabulous.
