STORE SHOUTS X CALIROOTS

One of the biggest independent street/skate inspired store chains in Sweden. Caliroots opened their doors around holiday season 2003 and hasn't stop moving forward since. Caliroots imports most of their progressive contemporary lines directly from the United States and Japan.


Cali Skate Dept Store
Brunnsgatan 9
Stockholm Sweden


Caliroots's first store opened, Cali Store, can be described as a mature skate focused store. Cali Store stocks some of the finest in skate conscious brands(Vans Syndicate, Idiom, Carhartt Europe, & Nike SB) while mixing in a few street vibes from core brands like locals Wood Wood, Cheap Monday & Stussy. As far as denim, Sweden stores carry some of the best in denim(get to that later) quality brands like Edwin, Levis, & Pace to name a few.


I didn't purchase this Idiom bag but was very nice to see this at the Cali Store. I always thought brands like Idiom and Edwin were impossible to carry but Sweden made me realize that was a lie. Due to their center location, many brands that would be almost a miracle to carry are at many of these Scandinavian stores fingertips. I saw so many things from brands like Silas!! Like everybody knew about Silas in Sweden(not that it is a secret) but in America I feel like few really know there history.
I had to scoop a few pair of the Europe release only Nike SB Dunk High aka "Margie Simpsons".
Also..
Picked up these Nike SB Blazer in Cali Store. These kicks were created in collaboration with Swedish Nike SB skater Danijel Todorovic, graphic designer David Earl Dixon and Samuel Barratt of Nike SB. Really nice Swedish flag placement on heel and how cute is Sir Alfred Noble on the inside.




Right around the corner is Caliroots second location, Six Feet Down.

SixFeetDown
Regeringsgatan 77
Stockholm, Sweden


Six Feet Down opened up around Fall 2006. Six Feet Down has the aesthetics of inner city boutique stocking some best in Nike, Clae, and Adidas.
Those dunk Highs are crazy!! I remember that Bearbrick x Undefeated toy. I could have thought i ordered one.. hmm.
