Klang Valley is a big melting pot of culture. Every now and then it’s not uncommon to come across a few people dressed head to toe in heat, and more often than not, it’s easy for the streetwear head to intersect with another decked out in a completely different style than you, and the level of diversity we have should be celebrated. While the sneaker scene here has been on the major rise thanks to the influx of extremely hype silhouettes, the city’s streetwear roots actually lie deep within skateboarding.

However, both of these realms often intersect, and as such, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best skate shops and streetwear shops scattered around the Klang Valley region.

Skate Shops

Showroom

One of the most OG skate shops around, Showroom is a one-stop-shop for all things skating. While stocking mostly apparel from Obey, Dickies, Undefeated, Ben Davies, Huf, and local brands like Against Lab, the store also sells new decks, wheels, and axles complete with a mini-half pipe to try your skateboard out before fine-tuning it.

Address:10, Jalan 1/77A (Behind Times Square), 55100, Pudu, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Opening Times: 12PM – 9.30PM

Krookz KL

Krookz has been around for a fairly long time. First opening its doors back in 2008, the store only has gone stronger and better with each passing year. The store is the only one here in Malaysia that carries Gosha Rubchinsky’s skateboard subdivision brand, PACCBET, as well as bringing in merch from Southeast Asia and endorsing local skateboarders with it. Pretty solid stuff.

Address: 65-1, Jalan Telawi 3, Bangsar Baru, 59100 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur

Opening Times: 11AM – 9PM

Wheel Love Skateshop

A bit of a legend around the Subang area, Wheel Love is all about skating, rollerblading, in-lines, and nothing else. Servicing the local skaters from all across Malaysia, the shop has moved from SS15 to EnerZ Extreme Park for expansion.

Address: 791, Enerz Indoor Extreme Park, Persiaran Subang Indah, Subang Jaya, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor

Opening Times: 12PM – 8PM

Streetwear Shops

You no longer have to look across the pond to cop the latest releases. Most are available here, and now. All you gotta do is know where to find em.

Isetan The Japan Store

While this isn’t necessarily a standalone brick and mortar store, the flagship does bring over highly coveted brands from the land of the Far East, straight to you, the consumer. Only caveat is the impending hole in your wallet once you browse through its subsections. Mastermind Japan, Undercover, Commes Des Garcons, Porter, Off-White, all available under one roof.

Address: 10, Lot 10, 50, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Bukit Bintang, 50250 Kuala Lumpur

Opening Times: 11AM – 9PM

FHX

Look for a black burger shop named ‘Burger On 16,’ and you’ll find a small stairwell leading up to a relatively simple skate store up above. What differentiates this shop from the others, is that they almost exclusively stock Rip n Dip merchandise; literally everything from umbrella’s plush toys, rugs, and apparel. Your stock for all things Lord Nermal is here. Apart from just Rip n Dip, the shop also carries other brands like HUF, Undefeated, and Stussy to name a few.

Address: 16, Jalan Changkat Thambi Dollah, Pudu, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur

Opening Times: 12.30PM – 9.30PM all week

Stussy KL

Who would’ve thought that the one brand that started it all has a base in Malaysia. One of the only Stussy stores in Southeast Asia (The other is in Singapore and Taiwan), the shop brings a slice of American street culture right here at our doorstep. Here, it’s a Stussy only affair, and a quick look through may cop you some KL exclusive tees fro a very decent price.

Address: 10, Jalan 1 / 77A, Pudu, 55100, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur

Opening Times: 12PM – 9.30PM

The Fourheads

Fourheads keeps it simple. If you’re looking for either Palace or Supreme, this is the place to go for accessories, caps, and apparel. No questions asked.

Address: T014-B (3rd Floor), Mid Valley Megamall, Lingkaran Syed Putra, 59200 Mid Valley City, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur

Opening Times: 11AM – 10PM

Preme.KL

Basically a resell store on crack. Anything and everything Supreme can be found here easily, with the occasional surprise drop from other brands like Anti Social Social Club, Champion, and footwear heat. Whatever it is, only the most coveted, and rare drops make the cut.

Address: a2, 1, Jalan SS 15/8a, Ss 15, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor

Opening Times: 12PM – 12AM

17Gallery

For those who frequent the Subang area, will have most probably seen this shop with rows upon rows of wrapped shoes, sitting, waiting, to be opened and bought. One of the earliest shops to fully stock the Nike Flyknit Racers during its peak, 17Gallery has already established itself as one of the go-to places to hook yourself up with some new creps. From the ridiculously sought after Off-White Air Jordan 1s, Air Yeezy 2 “Red October,” Adidas Futurecraft 4D, the shop is filled to the brim with whatever your budget fancies.

Address: 21, Jalan SS 15/8b, Ss 15, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor

Opening Times: 1PM – 10.30PM, Closed on Mondays

Plug

Not many other places are as Yeezy centric as Plug, featuring almost every Yeezy model from when the first 350 was conceived, all the way until the newly re-released 700. The store is split into two sections; a clean, minimalist white foray displays Yeezys on one side, and other brands on the other, while the back perpetuates a dark, moody space for apparel, mainly focused on Bathing Ape and Commes Des Garcons.

Address: 88, Jalan Pandan Indah 4/6b, Pandan Indah, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, Selangor

Opening Times: 12PM – 9PM, Closed on Monday

Left Right

A retail store that stocks a fair share of accessories and apparel, one that serves the entry level hypebeast all the way to collectors of a particular brand. Comprising of brands like Patta, Yeezy, and the usual Nike and Adidas collabs, it’s an easy store to like, given relative ease to purchase products at affordable prices, especially the clothing. However, look out for the grails on offer; a particular hand painted Collette shirt for last year’s Complex Con still sits on the shelf somewhere in the store.

Address: 32-1, Jalan Rampai Niaga 4, Rampai Business Park, 53300 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur

Opening Times: 2PM – 10PM, Closed on Monday and Thursday

Red 30

Right in a quiet corner in Amcorp resides a quiet store that looks just like any other vintage store, except the inventory in this one is almost exclusively heat and nothing less. While the name doesn’t coincide with the amount of Supreme products that the store carries, Red 30 also carries its fair share of collaboration items, apparel and accessories, all within the confines of a vintage store theme.

Address: Amcorp Mall, 18, Persiaran Barat, Pjs 52, 46050 Petaling Jaya, Selangor

Opening Times: 12PM – 5PM, Closed on Monday

Vain

Apart from just reselling items on its shop, Vain also does pre-orders for new upcoming items as well as regular giveaways in the form of a raffle system where the winner is able to purchase clothing or shoes for a price below retail. Pay them a visit, and an arcade claw machine presents itself. Cough up RM20 for a chance to win hype on a budget!

Address: Lot 123A, First Floor Empire Damansara, Jalan PJU 8/8 47820, Damansara Perdana, Petaling Jaya, Selangor

Transit KL

Quite unlike the other stores, Transit KL’s premise is modelled after a convenience store. Think Family Mart, but for streetwear. Transit hosts a mostly local brands from the likes of Against Lab, Transit’s in-house brand, Shuren Projects, Common Dust, and a bit of international like Dickies. The store also hosts it’s own zines contributed by local artists, disposable cameras, pins, drinks, and whatnot for a whole one-stop experience.

Address: 22, Jalan SS 15/8b, Ss 15, 47500 Subang Jaya, Selangor

While every other store here carries brands for across Pacific, Fabspy turns over the stone in search of local brands and curate them at its flagship store in Mid Valley. It’s practically your go-to place if you need to rep that local.

Address: Mid Valley City, 58000 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur

Opening Times: 10AM – 10PM

Major Drop

Much like FHX practically carries only Rip N Dip, Major Drop is the main carrier for Bobby Hundreds’ label, The Hundreds and Pleasures, as well as other Southeast Asian brands like ‘Berak’ from Indonesia. Accessories like bracelets, pins, patches, and headwear make themselves available at the shop too.

Sole What

Sole What’s main USP is that it curates lifestyle shoes that are fit for a timeless look. Browsing through its online catalog showcases a myriad of silhouettes fit for all kinds of budgets and looks, from perennial Vans models, to instant classics such as the Adidas Superstars and Nike Air Max 180, to modern designs like the Ultraboost Laceless and Zoomfly SP. Occasionally too, the retailer will carry several collaboration models, the last two being Vans’ partnership with the Van Gogh Museum and WTAPS.

Hundred%

If other shops encourage more of a pick and choose whatever you like, Hundred% likes to stay true to the roots of the culture that the scene was born from. The shop heralds upon legacy models such as Vans and the Nike Air Max series, namely the 1, and Air Force 1s, having hosted several events such as AF1Theory during Air Max Day, as well as celebrating the 1st year anniversary of Malaysia’s largest Vans community, Under The Palms MY.

Boundlezz Unlimited

Keeping a good mix of local and international, Boundlezz also keeps it real, stocking only skatewear items from the likes of Deblanc, Lord, Champion, BAPE, and Vans to name a few. Supreme is almost always a definite inclusion in places like these. The store is also one of the only few to stock Ian Connor’s Revenge Storm shoes for a fairly pretty penny.

Address: Sungei Wang Plaza, S132, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Bukit Bintang, 55100 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur

Opening Times: 10.30AM – 9.30PM
