If you’re looking for limited-edition or just-released kicks, Ubiq is the place. This sleek, modern Center City store carries popular footwear and apparel brands (Reebok, Nike, New Balance, Vans, and Puma), as well as lesser-known brands (The Hundreds, Herschel Supply Co.).

Ubiq’s reputation for kicks goes beyond Philly; the store was named one of 2013’s ten best sneaker shops by Conde Nast’s Footwear News. You'll also find a wide selection of bags, belts, streetwear, hats, and iPhone cases. Be sure to check out the museum-like display of Vans on the third floor.

Located on Walnut Street, Ubiq is open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and noon to 6 p.m. Sundays. Ubiq has an additional location in The Gallery at Market East.
