Bodega
Profile
Description
Bodega is a Boston-based streetwear boutique that was founded by Dan Natola, Oliver Mak and Jay Gordon. Widely recognized as one of the top sneaker boutiques in the world and as having put Boston on the streetwear map, Bodega saw a meteoric rise from its inception despite the absence of any marketing or advertising. Bodega had secured a deal to carry limited edition releases from Nike, and attained Nike’s Tier Zero status after a mere two years. First collaborating with Converse on a sneaker release, Bodega was involved in seven projects between 2007 and 2008, including redesigns of the Reebok Pump Omni Lite, the Puma Sky Hi, and the adidas ZX running shoe. Bodega released its own apparel line in 2012, which has since seen collaborations with C.E and Fred Perry.

Upon the unveiling of UNDFTD’s Boston Sucks t-shirt in relation with this years NBA Championship finals between the Lakers and the Celtics, we knew it was just a matter of time before Boston had its rebuttal. Enter sneaker store Bodega and Damaged who together have created the “This is Boston, Not LA” t-shirt, inspired by a 1982 hardcore punk compilation of the same name which included some of Boston’s biggest acts at the time.
One of the most anticipated Reebok dual label sneaker projects is set for release on May 31st at Bodega (6 clearway st.).
Designed by Bodega, the Escape Pack was inspired by the renegade, borderline legal, semi-dangerous, insanely cheap, revolutionary, independently run bus lines that link Boston’s Chinatown to NYCs Chinatown.
Retailing for $200 USD, the pack includes everything you need to escape to another city for an overnight excursion. An exquisitely designed Reebok Omni Pump Lite is the centerpiece of the project featuring a luminous jade and charcoal color-way detailed with a map of the route embossed on the ankle collar. A matching 5-panel cap by “ELM” and tee are also included in the pack. Various essentials including, but not limited to, mix-tapes, rolling, papers, paint markers, and good luck charms round out the contents of this extremely limited release. Only 100 Escape packs have been produced. Within ONE of the packs is a GOLDEN TICKET upgrade. The lucky winner of the upgrade will get airfare to anywhere in the continental US, as well as a suitcase filled with past limited releases from Reebok.
