Shopping in San Francisco is always fun and there’s a number of stores along Hayes St that I love to visit whenever I’m in town:
Gimme shoes is great for shoes that no one can afford. They were the place I found my super rare lacoste sneaks that were sold out all over London when they came out.
HUF is a great sneaker store and this place is filled with beautiful Adidas kicks. They unfortunately did not carry the all green classic rereleased Rod Lavers that were sold out in the Adidas store in SoHo in NY. Bugger
Propeller” is a store full of beautiful, expensive, and essentially useless things for your dream house.
Friend is very similar to Propeller, in that they sell conspicuously over-designed objects for your tiny SF studio apartment.
Flight 001 is a unique store that specialises in luggage and other flight related products.
Fritz is an crepe and french fry restaurant that has a wondefully sunny back garden. All the crepe dishes are named after artists. My favourite is the Mark Rothko.
Scandinavian Details is yet another home furnishing store that seem to be everywhere on this street. Expensive and beautiful scandinavian designed objects. This is where I bought my favourite new watch.
