Tokyo for 3 more weeks, a few questions

[Zeni]

I know there are 700 other Tokyo threads to search but I didn’t really come up with anything solid so whatever, flame away if these are old questions. I’d look more in depth but my dorm only has internet access in a crowded PC room during certain hours so I don’t have time to research much. Anyway I’m in Tokyo 3 more weeks, here are my questions:

1. I want some denim, thinking Eternal, where can I get? I read on here that Ueno was good for denim but all I found (mapless, mind you) were streets lined with cheap stores with stuff setup outside. I’d like to buy some shirts too, I’m thinking Harajuku? I don’t suppose I can nab the Eternals there as well?

2. Where can I buy some nice traditional stuff for home and souvenirs?

3. I’m looking for some low-profile white sneaker/shoes also. I was in a store in Daikanyama around Supreme called Top Seven (I think?) that was kind of what I’m after. Any suggestions?

4. Best place to meet cuties? Maybe I’m not hitting the right spots but we went out to Roppongi and it sucked. All gaijin and sketch Nigerians. We hit up Club Asia in Shibuya too but it was kind of like American clubs, nothing all that unique. Also, my Japanese friends tell me most club girls are bitches. So any suggestions, outside of clubs?

weak thread.

1. Bears Shimokita, or any of the brand shops in/around Shibuya/Nakameguro

2. If you want souvenirs, just go to Tokyu Hands or something and load up with cheap stuff. If you want nice Japanese stuff to hang on walls, go to Honolulu, haha.

3. Low-profile white shoes? You must have no idea what you want? Umbro Kim Jones, Common Projects, house brands, JP Cons, TST, all easily had in Tokyo...

4. Church.

[so-so]

1. Heres an idea, look at any of the numerous maps available for tokyo?

There's an America-ya in shibuya, but I'm not telling you where it is so you'll just have to stumble across it on your own. Hint, ヤマンバ.

2. The airport.

3. How about you try this store in Daikanyama called Top Seven (I think?), it's somewhere around supreme, I think they might have what you want.

4. Go home.

[Zeni]

Alright this didn't go over well. I'll make my way through the maps. Mod delete please?

[herpsky]

is top seven the shoe store by silas and maria?

that store is hella weak

[mizanation]

this thread is great! please don't delete. i think this one still has some life in it.

[mizanation]

bump! jmatsu, get in while you can...

[Guest jmatsu]

daikanyama sucks for shopping. you don't have to go there for bonjour,alfredo bannister,supleme, etc anymore. the only shop i can handle is hollywoodranchmrkt and a shutters eatery which has some great spareribs.

sure there are bitches and little dogs galore, but the only guys that hang out there are either fags, beauticians, or dog walkers....basically all fags. it's not what it used to be.

thanks jmatsu. this thread can now be put to rest.

last time I was in Japan, I saw a lot of cool little stores in harajuku...not sure thats what your looking for, but if you want to know what the style of the japanese are wearing, just go there.. i think I saw more guys wearing chanel than i needed to in a lifetime. I was in shinjuku the whole time for drinking and such and oddly enough.. i found myself at some english pub most of the time..!

why did you think that silas and maria was behind this bullshit chain? the company is from fuckin osaka (it reeked of osaka before i even knew it)?

you ditched visvims for dragon's beard? dope! you're on the right track. now you've gotta give up cdg and start wearing okura or maybe even FAT.

[djrajio]

I like FAT.

[Guest jmatsu]

I like FAT.

you do? i would have never guessed? i don't like their clothes, but i respect the hustle.

don't sweat it. i'm sure there's alot of shit i like that you probably loathe.

[djrajio]

Haha. Yeah, I wouldn't wear it, but I like the fact that it feels like mid-90s Nautica / Polo / prep wear w/ the Hip-hop angle but also Japanese. Its like an amazing mind fuck.
