SHOWROOM
Skate-centric

Hypebeast might have changed the landscape considerably, turning every basic bro into a streetwear fuccboi, but Darren Chiu’s first store has been at it for more than a decade now. Focusing primarily on skating apparels and gears, SHOWROOM welcomes anyone who wants to be part of the board lifestyle. Stocked with a good mix of skater-favourites such as Thrasher, Stussy, Vans, Nike SB, and regional streetwear designers like Alamak, these are amongst the few brands which SHOWROOM carries. But don’t mistake the venue for just a retail outlet, it’s also a hub for skaters and fingerboard enthusiasts. It’s hosted events like the fifth King of Fingerboard League and a skate and video screening party during the launch of HUF x Thrasher, which saw over 100 skateboarders performing tricks and exchanging tips. If the prices leave a bruise on your bank account, the staff is prepared to give you a 101 class on the product just to assure you that you are paying for quality goods.
