A quick walk-by at lunch says that ALIFE is not yet live and stock boxes are still strewn about. Either that or the twiztedsizta is sleeping in well past noon.

Sleeping until noon! I wish.

Anyway...I just dropped in to say...OPEN!

Anything's possible in Vancouver... The store could open at noon and stay open until late.

Nice looking spot with clean displays and high ceilings. The dual entrances are a nice touch. Adidas, FEIT, and a great selection of RTFT of course. I'll probably head back to try something on later.

A different personality in comparison to the NYC location. Overall, a very welcome addition to Vancouver.

PS The lack of price tags was annoying... or was I not looking hard enough?

Dropped by yesterday. Looks great inside, but not much at all. I wonder how much rent is, because I don't see the store having longevity. Prices are very high. Levi's x alife for 501 come one, now? Sure the store it looks great in terms of a retail space, but in terms of a retail store that actually sells how much are they actually racking in? I can't see it being that much. imo

btw new seasons shoes look off the chains.

I'm not sure how much dough they make per day, but it looks like they are doing something right. Is the Vancouver spot 2 floors? I heard there is an upstairs???

[krayzie]

did they have the turqouise argyle slip ons in stock?

Went by there on Saturday. The space is nice. They had some Alife Levis STF there, some nice hoodies. I don't think there was a second florr, if there was I missed it.

high ceilings but no upstairs that was visible to anyone. the shop itself is short walk-up on the water street side. on the cordova side, it's street level.

A friend said there is a parking lot across the street that allowed them to see the levels above. He wasn't sure if it was alife but he said he could see a bunch of shoes and clothing that he assumed was alife.

I checked it out about a week ago. Nice interior, nice people, nice gear. Not sure if there's an upstairs or not, I should've asked. I'll Probably go back when I get paid.

there is a floor above that houses their footwear distribution and daily offices as downstairs is pretty much scene free, you can really even see the gastown hustle from inside, which is a shame.

Sorry for the late ass reply but how much are hoodies there? T-shirts?

Thanks!

[frogeyes]

65 bucks for t-shirts.
