The best sneaker shops in Milan

For many years now, Milan has become the Italian capital of sneakers, streetwear and street culture in general.
The game has now become almost an exclusivity of the city of Milan, together with Rome and Bologna which also include stores that have made sneaker history in Italy such as Holypopstore and Bottega Back Door.

However, we have decided to put together the best sneaker shops in Milan and create an interactive map so you don't miss the chance to cop one of your favorite sneakers.

ONE BLOCK DOWN

One of the reference points for sneakerheads throughout Italy and beyond. The new Piazza Diaz store is truly a gem. Sneakers, but not only; a must see for those who love street culture, then if you want you can also drink and eat something inside the connected café.
