Chicago Sneaker Spot: Vol. UpRise

Uprise is a skater-owned shop run by people that are passionate about skateboarding and the City of Chicago. If you at all into the skateboarding scene this is the place you MUST visit. Located in the Bucktown neighborhood of Chicago on 1820 N Milwaukee Ave (between Bloomingdale Ave & Moffat St) this shop has the Nike SB's you may be looking for. As seen in the picture below they had on display the quickstrike Nike SB Dunk High Skunk 4/20 which is available today and Uprise has them and their doors open at noon.



The shop itself has a real personal touch on it, makes you feel like you walked right into the deep in of a pool of skater culture. The staff is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to, they treated us very nicely even though I know nothing about the Skater world. There was even a young kid just getting into skateboarding and they treated him very well.



I'd say if you are at all into Nike SB's then this is your place.
