If, like me, you’re sick of seeing every other person you pass by wearing your latest pair of Converses or the t-shirt you’ve been eying for weeks, maybe it’s about time you stopped by Stolen Riches. The boutique is located on Toronto’s stylish Queen Street West (just a bit west of Bathurst) and offers an impressive, carefully selected assortment of sneakers and street wear labels. For anyone with a sneaker fetish, Stolen Riches houses dozens of unique-looking (but totally wearable) sneakers from popular brands including Nike, Reebok, Vans, and Adidas. The best part? You can grab most of these kicks for around $100.

When I stopped by a couple weeks ago with my boyfriend, we fell in love with the store almost instantly. We were helped by a friendly sales associate who made our shopping environment completely pressure-free, allowing us to peruse undisturbed through the store (my favourite kind of shopping). My boyfriend got a very cool, graphically-enhanced pair of Adidas shoes for just $90, while I picked up a fuschia graphic t-shirt by the brand HellzBellz featuring Kate Moss for $45. Though the shirt was a bit pricey for my liking, I have yet to see another girl sporting the tee, and frankly, Kate Moss is worth it.

Store location: 734 Queen Street West. See www.stolenriches.ca for more information.
