Google is your friend. You'll like South Coast Plaza, technically not in LA but then again, LA is kind of like that.

you can use supermaps to locate all those great shops in SF/LA.

[startmeup]

haight street has some good shops, giant robot, just off haight is awesome, rolo soma, rolo garage rolo market, the list goes on and on

[kyee87]

in SF:

- rolo (soma) and rolo garage is just one or two blocks down

- recon / nort (recon carries Futura Labs, w)taps, some Acronym, good rare stuff; Nort is for sneakers)

- huf (if you like sneakers /streetwear)

- ab fits

- azalea

- modern appealing clothing

- on haight: villains, villains vault, true (streetwear), trusole (sneakers), stussy

in LA:

- fred segal (there's two, one on Melrose in LA, one in Santa Monica - SM you would like Conveyor for streetwear, Man for upscale, Trend for upcoming brands)

- union (streetwear - Neighborhood, w)taps, bape, zoltar, etc.)

- brooklyn projects (streetwear)

- situationormal (streetwear)

- undefeated (if you like sneakers)

- greyone (in Pasadena, sneakers)

- sportie la (lots of sneakers)

- beverly center mall (up against the wall, traffic)

- maxfield / maxfield bleu (much cheaper, great selection of obscure upscale designers on sale)

judging by the type of brands you listed, you would probably like:

huf

recon

villains vault

true

Conveyor at Fred Segal

union

undefeated

sportie la

i was disappointed by fred segal conveyor

they have some interesting stuff but if you are hitting nort and huf

it's pretty much pointless. i think they had nike considereds for over 100

despite their retail ~ 80.

union LA is one of my favorite stores. better selection than the NY store, I think.

you might also wanna check out supreme on fairfax ave, it's kinda close to the la brea

hypebeast dungeon (stussy, undftd, and union). either take a bus or drive

also on la brea:

american rag cie and volcom flagship store

englandmj7 mentioned to search for "alife los angeles" but that search only brings up this thread. is there an alife store in los angeles?

[samsikle]

on haight there's also FTC skateshop got a few shoes and tees but not much in my opinion.

for denim i believe they have a bunch of stuff at american rag on van ness.

just to remind you there are three huf stores, two of which are on sutter (one shoe store and one clothing store), and one is on hayes, which is pretty much all shoes but has a better selection than the one on sutter.

you might like stuff at upper playground on fillmore. if not go check out the art at the gallery if it's open.

No, there isn't; I was just giving an example of how to do a search.....nowhere in LA carries ALIFE.
